Is America Ready for a Boring Candidate?

Elections are about more than candidates—they're about voter sentiment and broader cultural shifts.

On last week's Practically Political, we examined a crucial insight:
elections are often referendums on incumbents.

The goal of the PracticallyPolitical podcast is to engage and motivate citizens, invite conversation, respect differences of opinions, believe and compromise and put sound policy before partisanship.

Hosted by Dave Spencer, I am glad to also be joined each episode by Kurt Bardella.

Some key points from our discussion:

•The 2020 election was a referendum on Trump, while 2024 reflected voter sentiment about Biden's presidency

•Harris received 7.1 million fewer votes than Biden did in 2020, while Trump gained 2.5 million more than his previous run

•The challenge ahead for Democrats is reconnecting with voters who switched from Biden to Trump

Looking ahead to 2028, we're analyzing how current policies and leadership will shape voter perspectives over the next four years.
