Could Israel Cost Biden the Election?
It’s an old truism that Americans don’t care about foreign policy when it’s time to cast their ballots. But with the crisis in Gaza, a prolonged conflict in Ukraine and a trade war brewing with China, could 2024 be the year that American voters finally care about what’s going on beyond the water’s edge?
The hosts take a look at the importance (or lack thereof) of foreign affairs in American elections. Plus, Lydia recommends a film Oscar nominations were wrong to skip.

- “A Titanic Geopolitical Struggle Is Underway” by Thomas L. Friedman
- “We Aren’t Just Watching the Decline of the Oscars. We’re Watching the End of the Movies.” by Ross Douthat
