As well, Texas’s Ken Paxton won the Republican primary for U.S. Senate, while having allegations of infidelity and securities fraud.

The episode includes conversations with New York Times journalist Frank Bruni about his book The Age of Grievance, Mockingcast’s David Zahl about an incident in which David French was cancelled from a polarization panel, and Sharon McMahon about how to view others you disagree with.
