GOP Operative Turned Advocate and Political Observer
I sat down this week with National Journal‘s Josh Kraushaar for his Against the Grain podcast to talk about the midterm outlook, what could go wrong for Republicans, why Democrats have struggled to move the Biden agenda, and take a closer look at the electability of GOP recruits.
A few key moments:
I faced off in a friendly “debate” with my colleague Yasmin Nelson on year one of the Biden administration, the outlook for the midterms, and what if anything might happen in the interim. Yasmin is a former senior economic advisor to then-Senator Kamala Harris, and somebody I trust and rely on for insights into what leading Dems are doing or should do. Her analysis runs alongside my “Bottom Line” in our weekly PRG reconciliation update, and she has her own newsletter under The Breakdown banner.

My Bracewell colleague Yasmin Nelson and I joined host Colin Wilhelm for Bloomberg‘s Talking Tax podcast, where we discussed the House’s progress on the reconciliation package, the apparent demise of the Biden administration’s plan to eliminate stepped-up basis, the moderate revolt on drug pricing, and where things go from here.
