DNC Coverage

I'm out at the Democratic National Convention this week in Chicago. A lot of readers have been asking why we didn’t go to the Republican National Convention. The answer is pretty simple: We applied for press passes to both, but the RNC didn’t accept us. We don’t know why. It is not because of any perceived partisanship — the RNC approved many liberal reporters, and here at the DNC I’ve seen everyone from Charlie Kirk to Kellyanne Conway, and Fox News has their own booth. Anyway, the DNC gave us credentials, so we came.

  • The Potential Sale of U.S. Steel

    27:16|
    On Friday, The Washington Post reported that President Joe Biden is unlikely to make a decision on whether to block Japanese steelmaker Nippon Steel’s bid to acquire U.S. Steel until after the election. White House officials said Biden remains opposed to the deal but is reportedly concerned about the economic and political ramifications of doing so. On November 5, we are going to be hosting a live, in-person election night watch party at Tangle HQ in Philadelphia. But before we start planning, we want to know what the demand would be for an event like this. We’ll probably only be able to host 50-100 people.

  • The Haitian Immigrant Controversy in Ohio

    28:45|
    In Wednesday’s presidential debate, former President Donald Trump claimed that migrants in Springfield, Ohio, were eating residents’ pets, framing the alleged acts as symptomatic of the broader migrant crisis in the United States. The comment, which Springfield officials have said is false, set off a discussion about the implications of heightened levels of migration to towns like Springfield and a debate over the veracity of Trump’s claims. You can read today's podcast⁠ ⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠, our “Under the Radar” story ⁠here and today’s “Have a nice day” story ⁠here⁠.You can watch the entire Tangle Live event at City Winery NYC on our YouTube Channel!Check out Episode 6 of our podcast series, The Undecideds.

  • SPECIAL EDITION: The Trump-Harris debate.

    The first Harris-Trump debate. On Tuesday evening, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump faced off for their first debate at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, PA.

It was also the first face-to-face meeting of any kind between the two (when they came on stage, Harris walked over to Trump, shook his hand and introduced herself). You can read today's podcast⁠ ⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠ and today’s “Have a nice day” story ⁠here⁠.You can watch the replay of our live stream of the Harris Trump debate with commentary from Isaac on our YouTube Channel!Check out Episode 6 of our podcast series, The Undecideds.
