Josh, Liam, and Paul discuss the results of several midterm primary elections, including the shocking win of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in New York's 14th District Democratic primary over a long term incumbent. Other major topics include: Harley-Davidson and steel tariffs, the Supreme Court, the Red Hen incident, and civility in America. Our featured guest is Alan Morrison, head attorney for the lawsuit filed Wednesday morning disputing the constitutionality of the Section 232 steel tariffs.
We're debuting a new format to The Lobby Shop this week, now featuring your three regular co-hosts Josh Zive, Liam Donovan, and Paul Nathanson. We'll cover the latest DC news from three angles: diving into legislation and policy, understanding their context and politics, and the success/failure of the involved parties' communications tactics. Our featured guest interview this week is with PRG's latest and greatest intern, Taryn Taylor Brown.
Josh and Liam reunite in The Lobby Shop for a look at what Liam has been up to for the last few weeks. We cover the cancellation of Congress's August recess by Senate Majority Leader McConnell, the outlook of the Midterm elections, DC's Capitals in the Stanley Cup Final, and more.
Josh is joined in The Lobby Shop by Caitlin Andrews and John Lee, whose hard work on behalf of childhood cancer groups resulted in the passage of the STAR Act, legislation that will advance pediatric cancer research. We explore how lobbying and strategic communications helped the STAR Act across the finish line.
