The "Accidental Presidency"

My weekly conversation with Chuck Todd.

It’s Inauguration Day.

Joe Biden is president for a few more hours. And then begins one of the most unlikely second terms of any president — that of Donald Trump.

I spent an hour late Sunday night mulling it all over with NBC’s Chuck Todd.

Among the subjects we hit:

  • How Biden really is an “accidental president”

  • Lady McBiden

  • The Democratic brand problem

  • RFK Jr. and what perceptions of him say about the inside DC/outside DC disconnect

  • The imagination required to properly cover the coming Trump presidency

  • The massive opportunity Trump has (that he probably won’t take)

  • The Commanders in the NFC Championship Games (and DC as a football town)

Normally, my weekly conversation with Chuck is behind the paywall. But this conversation was SO good that I want to share it with everyone. I’ve made it FREE.

As we embark on the least predictable, potentially most consequential presidency in modern history, however, I need your financial support to keep holding politicians to account, to keep telling it how it is without fear or favor and to continue being a fiercely independent voice in the miasma of partisanship.

I hope you consider becoming a paid subscriber today. It’s $6 a month or $60 for the year.
