The Populist Pivot—The Weekly Roundup

This week, we discuss Donald Trump’s interview with Elon Musk, content moderation, and broader hostility to free speech . Next, we highlight Kamala Harris’s pivot away from some progressive policies, and how rising populism is pushing both Harris and Trump to change their positions. We also discuss the potential consequences of the Trump campaign hack, likely by a foreign adversary, and how newsrooms are handling the leaked information. Finally, we head to Politicology+ where we talk about the impact of endorsements of former Republicans for Harris as well as the ideological shifts within the Never Trump movement.
