"Kevin McCarthy is Screwed”
How do you win an unprecedented election that could see a criminally indicted ex-president take on the current Commander in Chief?

Our hosts, Claire McCaskill and Jennifer Palmieri, are two of the most well-respected voices in American politics today and have some ideas. On the first episode of “How to Win 2024” they talk to Steve Kornacki about President Biden’s tough poll numbers and analyze how his team can still push forward to victory.
