Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down how the Electoral College map is likely to look after the 2030 Census, another staggering policy failure under California Gov. Gavin Newsom, the Ilhan Omar incident from last night, and the 40th anniversary of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster.
First, they welcome projections showing the next U.S. Census shifting the Electoral College map in Republicans’ favor. Red states are expected to gain eight electoral votes, swing states one, while blue states lose nine. California is poised to lose four while Texas should gain four. If the projection holds, it could give GOP candidates an easier path to the White House starting n 2032.
Next, they react in disbelief to a $236 million California program meant to help mentally ill individuals cycling through homelessness and jail that has reportedly helped just 22 people. Gov. Gavin Newsom insists the number is higher, but even generous estimates point to a massive failure and another example of ineffective governance in deep-blue states.
Then, they discuss Rep. Ilhan Omar being confronted and having liquid squirted on her during a public forum Tuesday night. Omar was not seriously harmed and completed the event.
Finally, Jim and Greg reflect on 40 years since the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded shortly after liftoff in 1986, sharing where they were when it happened and how it became their generation’s defining national tragedy until the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
