Summary

We are in an eighty-eight day sprint to the Presidential election. How would you follow this story if you wanted to actually understand something, instead of, like me, just feeling very anxious several times a day? We talk to Ezra Klein about how he follows elections and his own strange role in this election cycle. If you'd like to check out some of Ezra's election coverage this year, here are some good places to start. Democrats Have a Better Option than Biden (February, 2024) Are Democrats Right to Unite Around Kamala Harris? (July, 2024) Is Tim Walz the Midwestern Dad Democrats Need? (August, 2024) And if you'd like ad-free episodes of Search Engine, and bonus episodes, head to searchengine.show!
