Rebuilding Democracy: Fusion Voting with Dave Palmer (Hour 2)

At the top of today’s second hour, Trygve welcomes Dave Palmer of the Center for Ballot Freedom to talk about the future of the Republican party. On Friday, Liz Cheney spoke at Idea Fest in Madison about starting a new party for conservatives. Currently, America only has room for two major political parties, but what if we could have more choice? Fusion voting is one way to accomplish that goal, and Dave Palmer is an expert. He walks us through the ways in which it differs from ranked choice voting and the impact it could have on America’s political landscape.

At the bottom of the hour, Trygve Olson circles back to Donald Trump’s frantic and nonsensical rhetoric. From claiming abortion “isn’t relevant” to imposing a 200% tariff on John Deere, Trump is truly off his rocker. Trygve walks us through what Trump’s political operatives are likely thinking, and why it doesn’t sell with the majority of Americans.
