In this episode, Ryan welcomes Claire Potter and Tom Rogan to break down the past year in politics—calling out the biggest winners and losers, the defining moments that shaped the national conversation, and the leaders who captured (or lost) public attention. They dig into the power of political charisma, which tactics actually worked, and which media stories were blown out of proportion. The trio also spotlights topics that went under the radar but will matter in the long run. The episode wraps with forward-looking predictions on the future of politics, including the rising push for AI regulation, new social media legislation, and how these changes could reshape campaigns, public opinion, and elections in 2026 and beyond.
