In the last week of the January 6 congressional hearing, former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson outlined the days before the assassination attempt on the US Capitol and stressed that then-President Donald Trump and some people in his administration were threatening violence were aware. In this installment of the FiveThirtyEight Politics podcast, the crew discusses how this hearing could affect Americans’ views on Trump and the Republican nominees at noon who support Trump’s “Big Lie.”
The crew is also analyzing a new survey from the University of New Hampshire, which has garnered considerable media attention to complicate the 2024 Republican presidential primaries. And Kaleigh Rogers and Nate Silver compete in an Independence Day-inspired statistics game where they guess how many Americans know the country’s national anthem and how many love burgers over hot dogs.
