Nate Silver joins me for a wide ranging and candid interview on the inaugural episode of the GD POLITICS podcast. We talk about what it was like behind the scenes at FiveThirtyEight, which was recently shuttered by ABC News, and some regrets Nate had along the way.
We also discuss Elon Musk’s increasingly erratic behavior and the public backlash to his cuts at DOGE. Nate also criticizes Democrats’ decision not to force a government shutdown in the recent funding negotiations, which he says, strategically, would have been a “f***ing layup.”
In addition, we touch on Trump’s declining popularity, the likelihood of negative GDP growth this quarter, and why Nate says those still defending Biden’s decision to seek a second term should have no future in politics.
