John Ziegler Weighs in on LA Mayor’s Race, California Tax Measures, and GOP Midterm Fallout

Mark is joined by John Ziegler, co-host of The Death of Journalism podcast and former Mediaite senior columnist, to break down the latest election fallout from California and across the country. Ziegler discusses the defeat of California’s Proposition 40 "billionaire tax," analyzes Nithya Raman's victory over Karen Bass in the Los Angeles mayoral race, and explains how progressive political branding has taken hold in major cities. He also offers an unsparing autopsy of the midterm elections, arguing that the Trump-led MAGA movement drives high Democratic turnout while failing to mobilize voters in non-presidential cycles, evaluates JD Vance's political path forward, and uses a college football analogy comparing Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump to examine the future of the Republican Party.
