Yes, there actually is good news

GOP retirements, special elections, and squirming over Epstein — it's not all bad out there!

On the latest episode of Nir & Rupar, our live weekly video show, David Nir of The Downballot talks with Joe Sudbay of SiriusXM Progress and Noah Berlatsky of Public Notice about the good news these days—and yes, in spite of everything, there’s a fair bit of it!

The three discuss:

  • Why Joni Ernst’s retirement widens the path for Democrats to retake the Senate

  • How D.C. Democrats could learn a thing or three from their counterparts in the states who keep winning special elections

  • Why Donald Trump is going to keep squirming over the Epstein files

And much more! We also took several questions from viewers, including a particularly astute one about elections taking place this fall in Georgia.
