Deep dives
Biden's Struggle with Marketing Legislative Accomplishments
Biden has faced challenges in marketing his legislative achievements due to the difficulty in effectively selling his successes to the public. To improve, Biden should focus less on seeking credit for accomplishments and more on communicating why he is fighting for certain causes and how these fights will shape the future. Rather than seeking a referendum on himself, Biden should emphasize a comparative approach and discuss future actions and goals.
Political Consultants and Candidate Recruitment
Political consultants are entrepreneurs seeking success in the political realm, which can lead to financial incentives in recruiting candidates. While financial gain plays a role in consulting, consultants are driven by a desire to win and achieve their goals. When recruiting candidates, financial incentives may impact consultant decisions, especially in high stakes or competitive races.
Favorite Spots to Eat in Milwaukee and Chicago
In Milwaukee, Three Brothers in Bayview is recommended for Serbian cuisine, along with the Hybrid Pub nearby. For Chicago, Lou Malnati's is praised for its deep-dish pizza, offering a classic Chicago dining experience. Pequod's is also mentioned as an honorable choice for pizza lovers visiting the city.
Obama's Forward Campaign Strategy
Obama's successful campaign strategy focused on pitching forward and looking toward the future rather than running a backward-looking campaign. Campaign messaging emphasized fighting for the middle class and future solutions rather than solely touting past accomplishments. Biden can learn from this approach by emphasizing future goals, staying forward-looking, and avoiding overly seeking credit for past accomplishments.
Navigating Disinformation in Campaign Communication
The evolving landscape of information dissemination presents challenges in navigating disinformation and the potential impact on public perception. Artificial intelligence technologies can create realistic yet fake content that challenges traditional methods of information reliability. Understanding the potential misuse and impact of AI-generated content on public understanding and perception is crucial in today's digital campaign environment.
This week, Axe and Murphy were joined by the distinguished Hack and renowned lie detective, Sasha Issenberg.

The Hacks also dissect Biden's endeavors for student loan forgiveness, the evolving landscape of TikTok, the complexities of foreign policy, ongoing conflicts, the impact of social media, the rise of deep fakes, the lunar eclipse, and oh so much more!
