4. Conviction of a president.
53:48May 30th, 2024, just after 5pm Eastern Standard Time, a landmark moment was branded into the 247 year history of the US. For the first time ever, a former American president was found guilty of felony crimes. A jury of 12 New Yorkers deliberated for roughly 10 hours to reach a decision in a case that has people on all sides of the political spectrum debating the integrity of our justice system and the man, himself. In the end, Donald Trump was convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records in an effort to influence the 2016 election. And yet, this historic conviction may end up nothing more than a footnote in the 2024 election. In a Reuters/Ipsos poll published on May 31st, only "ten percent of Republican registered voters say they are less likely to vote" for Trump following the verdict. "Among independent registered voters, 25% said Trump's conviction made them less likely to support him in November, compared to 18% who said they were more likely and 56% who said the conviction would have no impact on their decision.”So how does this affect our undecided voters? The answers may surprise you. On today’s episode, we gauge the impact of the verdict on Diana, Zahid, Claire, Brian, and Phil and discover that on the road to the White House, even a felony conviction doesn’t block all paths.We are now 148 days out from the election.You can subscribe to Tangle by clicking here or drop something in our tip jar by clicking here.The Undecideds is a Tangle Media ProductionThis episode was written by Isaac Saul and edited and engineered by Jon LallInterviews were conducted by Magdalena Bokowa, Will Kaback, Jon Lall, and Ari Weitzman.Music was composed and produced by Jon Lall

3. The Age of Biden.
01:05:22For episode 3, our focus shifts from Donald Trump toward President Joe Biden. Much has been made in the media about his age and memory and whether he’s cognitively capable of handling another term. But an unanticipated performance at the State of the Union reignited his base and left many questioning that narrative. And while Donald Trump faces a jury of his peers in court, the court of public opinion continues to weigh in on the effectiveness of Biden’s foreign policies, with an eye to the conflicts between Israel and Palestine, Ukraine and Russia, and our own protracted clash at our southern border. Our undecided voters share their observations on the current commander in chief and how his decisions on the world stage affect their decision in the voting booth.Each episode we’ll focus on a different storyline from the race, and hear how these undecided voters are thinking about it.
