Episode description

Political strategist and commentator Simon Rosenberg, creator and author of Hopium Chronicles, joins Matt to unpack the 2024 election fallout and chart the Democrats’ future.

-- From Joe Biden’s debate stumble to Kamala Harris’s campaign grit, Simon breaks down what went wrong—blaming Future Forward Super PAC’s missteps and a failure to define Trump early.

-- Fast forward to March 2025: with Trump’s approval tanking amid tariffs and chaos, is buyer’s remorse setting in?

-- Simon shares strategies for Democrats to fight back—organizing, innovating, and tapping into patriotism—while analyzing key issues like the economy, democracy, and Trump’s unraveling brand. Check out Hopium Chronicles here:
