John and Seth are fortunate enough to be joined by Marquette University’s Julia Azari, co-author of a forthcoming book on the vice presidency, to discuss the vice presidential nominations of Tim Walz and J.D. Vance. What kind of strategies were being used here in picking running mates? What voters are they trying to activate or reassure, and how? What do these picks tell us about the presidential nominees and their parties? To what extent are these candidates relying on populist appeals?
Given Walz’s, Julia’s, and John’s experiences in the upper Midwest, we discuss what exactly hot dish is and how it’s properly made, while Seth makes disparaging coastal elite faces off camera.
