In the upcoming Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice election on April 1, 2025, Elon Musk is investing hundreds of millions, presenting both a challenge and an opportunity for the Democratic Party. This development is discussed by John Nichols in the latest episode of the podcast “Start Making Sense.”
Additionally, the podcast delves into how Donald Trump returned to the White House, attributing this outcome partly to the Republicans’ long-term strategy centered on the “culture wars.” Adam Hochschild provides insights into the history of these culture wars, tracing them back at least a century to the 1925 Scopes Trial about teaching evolution, an issue that remains relevant today.
