After Kara and Nayeema debrief the latest Elon drama (the Congressional hearings in which conservatives failed to prove they\u2019d been \u201ccensored\u201d on Twitter), we dive into our interview with Representative Ruben Gallego. The Arizona congressman is the only contender so far in the 2024 race for Kyrsten Sinema\u2019s coveted U.S. Senate seat \u2026 though he tells Kara he\u2019d welcome the opportunity to face \u201cQueen MAGA\u201d Kari Lake in the race. And he explains why he\u2019s not worried even if Senator Sinema, who left the Democratic Party in December, runs in a three-way race.\xa0\nAlso, Gallego discusses some of the issues of identity politics and wedge issues that we also heard with last week\u2019s guest Brooke Jenkins.
