Description

Michael reacts to a new Politico poll that reveals a surprising truth: younger Americans are less likely than older ones to support electing a female president. He’s joined by The Atlantic’s Olga Khazan to unpack what this says about gender, power, and how women candidates still face a “double bind” in U.S. politics. Plus, what kind of woman could finally break the White House glass ceiling? Listen here for that, and reactions from the audience. Original air date 7 October 2025.
