🏛 Political Trade Secrets: Gov't Shutdown Showdown, NYC Race, Oct 7th
Oct 07, 2025Join host Dustin Olson for a revealing look at the forces driving Washington’s budget battle, PLUS who's winning the MEME War? PLUS a shake-up in the New York City Mayor's Race (we predicted here) and a look at Mamdani and Cuomo's new ads. We also remember the victims of October 7th and look at how Public Opinion has evolved over two years.
We break down:
— Who’s really winning (and losing) the government shutdown: Trump, Vance, Schumer, AOC or the American people
— Hints from public opinion polling about how the Shutdown will go, and polling on Medicaid, and why Democrats are losing both the messaging and meme war
— The real-world impacts Americans need to know: what stops, what continues, and who feels it first
— In NYC, Eric Adams is out, Cuomo and Mamdani roll out new (and head-scratching) ads — and our polling hints at where the race goes next
Whether you’re a campaign pro, strategist, or political junkie, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
