High Steaks #12: Joe’s Hangover (Sarah Still Thinks She’s Winning)

Self-interested political calculations.

Sarah and Steve check in on their bet following last week’s presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump rematch. Are Democrats in denial about their nominee, or maneuvering behind the scenes to dump him?

The Agenda:
—Steve’s behind-the-scenes conversations
—Are polling numbers accurate?
—Where’s Jill in all of this?

The Skiff is the combined podcast feed of all of the members-only bonus content that The Dispatch produces. Here you’ll find every episode of Dispatch Live, the Dispatch Book Club, AMAs with Jonah (and others), the account of Sarah and Steve’s High Steaks wager, and many, many more exclusive, uncut and ad-free surprises: all available in one superfeed to make sure you don’t miss a single episode.

Sarah Isgur is a senior editor at The Dispatch and is based in northern Virginia. Prior to joining the company in 2019, she had worked in every branch of the federal government and on three presidential campaigns. When Sarah is not hosting podcasts or writing newsletters, she’s probably sending uplifting stories about spiders to Jonah, who only pretends to love all animals.

Steve Hayes is CEO and editor of The Dispatch, based in Annapolis, Maryland. Prior to co-founding the company in 2019, he worked at The Weekly Standard for 18 years, covering Washington, politics, and national security. Steve is the author of two New York Times bestsellers. He also worked as a contributor at CNN and Fox News, and currently serves as a political analyst at NBC News. When Steve is not focused on The Dispatch, he’s probably traveling with his family, grilling, or riding his mountain bike.
