Gary Trauner, three-time Democratic candidate for federal office in Wyoming, joins us again to discuss current politics. Today’s topics include Janet Mills dropping out of the Maine Senate race, Gary’s take on Jon Ossoff, who he thinks gets the message right, SCOTUS’ repeal of the Voting Rights Act, and Gary’s belief that parsing Trump’s nonsense is a fools’ game.

Because John Cole was under the weather, DougJ (NYT Pitchbot) and mistermix interview Gary.

We’re hoping to have Gary as a regular guest to discuss politics as we get into the 2026 election season. In the meantime, DougJ and I are working on getting new guests. If anyone has a suggestion, we’d love to hear it.
