You may know our guest today, Josh Holmes, as one of the hosts of the popular political podcast, Ruthless.
For those of you who don't know, Ruthless is to the conservative media sphere as Pod Save America is to the liberal media ecosystem.
But long before he started his podcasting gig, Amy knew Josh as a Republican political operative.
He was chief of staff to Mitch McConnell and ran his 2014 re-election campaign. He also had a stint at the National Republican Senate Committee.
He now runs the public affairs firm, Cavalry, and he's still actively giving advice to Republican candidates.
Josh's two roles as a member of the new media and a seasoned Republican political hand gives him unique perspective into our current political era.
This conversation spans a similar gamut from what advice he'd give to down ballot Republicans for the upcoming midterms to his thoughts on the Trump tariff endgame. Josh also talks about how candidates can best navigate the new media landscape.
We recorded this conversation on Wednesday, May 7th.
