The Last 2 Months — and Next 2 Years — of U.S. Politics
This is an edited transcript of an episode of 'The Ezra Klein Show.' You can listen to the conversation by following or subscribing to the show on the NYT Audio App, Apple, Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube, iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts.
Ezra Klein: Welcome to the second-ever 'Ask Me Anything' for subscribers.
If you're here, that means you have subscribed and linked your subscription. We are doubly grateful. We received a truly astonishing number of amazing questions — of which we will not get through even the most minute fraction. But we will do what we can.
I'm joined today — as I am so often, both in front of the mic and behind the scenes — by our wonderful executive producer, Claire Gordon.
Claire Gordon: Great to be here again, Ezra, for our first A.M.A. of the Trump era.
Reading through the questions, I would say the temperature of the audience right now is quite high. There were a lot of questions about whether we will have fair elections in 2028.
Klein: Will we?
Gordon: That's my first question.
Klein: That's where we're starting?
Gordon: How high is your internal temperature on this? What is the right temperature?
Klein: Your internal temperature should be feverish.
I think we're going to have elections. But I also think we're very likely going to have a constitutional crisis.
