And you didn’t hear much about it in the #GOPdebate. Which Trump won despite not being anywhere near the stage. It’s a mess and your host Paul Rieckhoff breaks it all down, plus a great conversation with Andrew Yang (@AndrewYang) from December 2022. It’s a great one and we think you’re going to really enjoy it.
