Podcast for America is your inside look at the unwrenchable drip that is a presidential campaign cycle. Your hosts are Mark Leibovich, national correspondent for the New York Times Magazine, and Alex Wagner of MSNBC.
This week, in a media shocker, Speaker of the House John Boehner resigned from office. We ask Politico correspondent Jake Sherman—who spoke with Boehner the day before the big announcement—why the speaker decided that now was the time.
Next, we look at Hillary Clinton’s poll numbers, which are waning again, and Bernie Sanders, who’s trailing her by only seven points.
Lastly, we focus on Jeb Bush, who’s slid down to fifth position among the Republican primary frontrunners. Is it time for him to mirror Boehner and, dare we say, step out?
