Dem Tea Party Moment and Why Zohran Worries Hakeem, with Tim Miller, and Why Millennials Love Taylor

Listen to this episode from After Party with Emily Jashinsky on Spotify. Emily Jashinsky begins by addressing Wednesday’s tragic shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic school and why prayer is so important to Christians. Then Emily is joined by Tim Miller, Host of “The Bulwark Podcast,” to discuss the new Doug Sosnik memo put out by POLITICO Playbook on the 2026 cycle and why it’s unlikely Democrats will make major gains, if the Democrats are facing their own Tea Party moment, why Hakeem Jeffries may really be hesitant to endorse Zohran Mamdani, plus the ridiculous story of Mamdani’s supporters taking part in a scavenger hunt through the streets of NYC. They also discuss Tim’s evolution from political strategist with Republican campaigns including Jeb Bush 2016 and John McCain 2008. Then Emily talks about one of the biggest cultural stories of the year…the engagement of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, and why it matters so much to millennials.
