'BradCast' 12/11/2024 (Guest: Author, Prof. Julia R. Azari on Presidential 'mandates')
12-11-2024 (52.8 MB)
On today's 'BradCast': Wisconsin state prosecutors added ten new felony charges to Donald Trump's accomplices who carried out the 2020 election fake electors scheme. The Franklin Fire in Malibu, CA continues to rage, exacerbated by climate change. FBI Director Christopher Wray says he will resign when Trump takes office, sparking concerns that he is 'obeying in advance.' Trump barely won a plurality in the 2024 election -- not even a majority -- but he and Republicans falsely insist he has a 'mandate'. JULIA AZARI, Professor of Political Science at Marquette University, an expert on presidential mandates, explains the history and context of 'mandate claiming'; how it has changed over the years; the many impacts on policy and presidential power and governance arising from such claims; how the media should respond no matter who makes them, and much more.
