Ep. 28 | Kamala’s Slurred Speech, the Media’s Trump Panic, the Thanksgiving

In this episode of Campaign Games, Meseidy and Rachel serve up political analysis with a side of humor and plenty of sarcasm. This week, they dive into Kamala Harris’s viral grassroots call—did she really seem that out of it? They break down the media’s frantic pearl-clutching over Trump’s transition picks and Axios’s meltdown over Elon Musk’s “We Are the Media” post. Plus, they explore the surprising (and not-so-surprising) cabinet picks, including the controversial pro-union Labor Secretary nominee, and whether they signal a shift in strategy for Trump’s administration.

On a lighter note, Meseidy and Rachel share Thanksgiving traditions, from nostalgic Puerto Rican dishes to Twilight Zone marathons, and answer rapid-fire listener questions about politics, holiday decor, and their dream presidential picks.

Tune in for witty commentary, heartfelt gratitude, and a sprinkle of holiday cheer as we gear up for a new year of Campaign Games. Don’t forget to follow, rate, and review—we’re thankful for YOU!
