About this episode

The episode discusses AOC's potential 2028 presidential bid while she campaigns for Abdul El-Sayed, alongside the Vance-Rubio succession race and cultural implications of Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey'.

AOC hit the campaign trail in Michigan over the weekend alongside Sen. Bernie Sanders. She’s rallying for Abdul El-Sayed in his race against Congresswoman Haley Stevens, but is there subtext of an AOC 2028 bid? Meanwhile, the Vance-Rubio succession race is getting spicier. Polls show Vance at the forefront, but there’s only one poll that matters in the White House: President Trump’s. And, how the new Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” became the latest site of the culture wars.   For more news and analysis, subscribe to the Playbook newsletter: politico.com/playbook
