Winning Congress has left Pod Save America with another argument to unpack: who should lead Democrats once they get there? That question anchors its latest podcast, as the show climbs from 109th to 70th on Apple's podcast chart in the United Kingdom.

Crooked Media's political conversation is hosted by former Obama aides Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, Dan Pfeiffer and Tommy Vietor. Their experience inside Democratic politics gives the leadership discussion a particular texture: this is a show examining the choices of the party its hosts once worked for.

Friday's "Will Dems Chuck Chuck?" pairs Favreau and Pfeiffer to consider the arguments for and against Chuck Schumer becoming majority leader. Alongside that decision, they examine Trump's response to the midterm losses and JD Vance's prospects of presenting himself as an anti-establishment candidate.

The preceding live recordings from Crooked Con widen the question beyond Washington personnel. "From Anti-Trump to Pro-Something (Live from Crooked Con)" considers how Democrats can retain voters who backed them without necessarily warming to the party. "Lessons From 2026 (Live From Crooked Con)" brings Lovett together with strategists Morris Katz, Lis Smith and Danielle Butterfield to examine the advertising and messages that worked.

On the channel's newest long video, Favreau and Lovett return to the leadership debate through Chris Van Hollen's challenge to Schumer. They weigh Schumer's legislative record against expectations for confronting Trump. The discussion moves past celebrating a result and into the less comfortable business of deciding what Democrats should do with it.
