Democrats have a mandate — but they also have to walk and chew gum. Marcus and Maddie work through the to-do list: ethics reform and the stock trading ban, what it means that Trump told 60 Minutes he doesn’t even know how much money he’s made off the presidency, and why Jimmy Carter’s peanut farm is the standard nobody’s holding anymore. Then the conversation opens up into what might be the most hopeful segment of the week — the emerging electoral map heading toward 2028 and the 2030 census. Marcus runs through Georgia (two seats away from a State Senate majority, two new House seats likely after redistricting), Texas (where Brianna the organizer told this show months ago the average voter was a 35-year-old Latina woman — and she was right), and what a Democratic governor in Texas means for the next decade of maps. Plus: why progressive Christian candidates might be the bridge Democrats have been looking for all along.
