Exit Polls Finale: Unveiling Election Truths and Lies Nov 22, 2024

Host: Steve Phillips
In the final episode of the Exit Polls podcast series, Steve puts a political spin on the game “two truths and a lie.” The three statements are: 1) The Democratic super PAC wasted nearly a billion dollars that cost the Democrats the 2024 presidential election. 2) Trump won because large numbers of previously Democratic voters switched their allegiances to back Trump. 3) Ending slavery was an unpopular position in Abraham Lincoln's 1860 election. Two of these are truths; one is a lie. Two find out which is which (and why), tune in!
