- Monday marked the start of the first-ever criminal trial of a former president. The case - one of potentially four trials facing former President Donald Trump - revolves around alleged hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels to try to conceal damaging information during the 2016 election. In this installment of the 538 Politics podcast, the crew looks at the political stakes of the case and how they compare to Trump's other legal liability. They also discuss how Republicans are positioning themselves on Arizona's unpopular 1864-era abortion ban and debate whether the latest campaign fundraising data actually says anything about the competitiveness of the presidential candidates.

it's very cool to see former regulars like Amelia making guest appearances like this
Just like they used to chant for Hilary!🥰🤣
LOCK HIM UP!
LOCK HIM UP!
LOCK HIM UP!
Love seeing Amelia make a comeback!
Love Five Thirty Eight and this story. I hope Trump goes straight to jail. Imagine if any of us did this, we would be in jail today. What goes around comes around.
Welcome back, Amelia!
It seems like people are assuming illegal is worse than unethical (them not being mutually exclusive aside), I have the opposite preference. Unethical behavior is a much bigger problem for people in positions of power.
Love your podcast. Thank you for postings ❤❤.
No matter how this or any trial shakes out, he has his numbers set in firm concrete. No moving that voter block
They hoisted roe onto their own petard. So lovely to see the inevitable blowback. The 50 year plan to overturn roe has unleashed a dragon they can’t control. It’s glorious.
Seems like you left out the whole prison thing. Conviction would have one effect. And that may not be big. But prison would likely have another effect, and I would think a bigger effect. And that against the backdrop of losing in the supreme court on immunity and maybe having some properties seized. Seems like it could all together have a significant effect.
I am 30 minutes into this podcast and I have yet to hear the word insurrection, I will Wade through the rest of it but be very disappointed if they manage to ignore the obvious.😮
An abortion initiative on the ballot may bring young people to the polls who are not excited about either main party presidential candidate
7:11 but which small part, if it moves a small part of independent voters in California it won’t matter electorally
maybe not for presidential, but these things still matter for houses and senate races for example (moreso house races for your California example). If sufficient numbers of independents in California shift based on this, that could determine the size and strength of a republican house majority which as we have seen this term can matter massively with regards to shutdowns debt ceilings and speaker removals
What matters is that the Trump trials have begun and they will continue for years.
Not if his found guilty in his current trial.
I just want to say Geoffrey’s monstera has made me so jealous. That thing is thriving.
When did TJ Miller become a political pundit?
I want to know who thought the direct election of prosecutors was a good idea.
Irish here. That does seem a little odd. At least you don't elect the jurors!
And we wouldn't need abortion laws either!
The turnout issue you are missing is young voters with Gaza as a big issue. I suspect some would stay at home in protest but abortion on the ballot will bring them out. The key question is how many of them are there.
Hopefully they realize that “Gaza”, although an important issue, is not as immediately relevant to their lives the way the abortion issue is.
Young voters staying home over Gaza and allowing Trump, Netanyahu's best ally, become president would be the most idiotic move since they stayed home in 2016 and allowed Roe vs Wade be overturned.
People. who arn't weighing their options this early in the game are too shallow to vote. Not
All. They. Talk about. Is. Abortion. Sigh.
Anyone with a brain can see this is a political hit job.
Well, let's hope the 12 jurors have brains!
@@Alexis-lt3zy yeah I don't like Trump but this is ridiculous.
@@1848revolt do you think there is ever a legitimate way to prosecute a political official? Would it be proper for prosecutors to go after Biden if he potentially committed crimes?
Bot lmao
@@ckqso if anyone says something you don't like it's a bot. Gotcha.
