Episode Details

This week we’re joined by Annie Wu Henry. Annie is a political consultant & digital strategist from the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. She - like us - is chronically online and has helped craft digital strategies for organizations like the Working Families Parties and AOC. She received high praise for her role in John Fetterman’s Senate campaign - leading his TikTok content and strategy. If anyone knows digital messaging - it’s Annie.  Annie helps us check the vibes this week:

• If it wasn’t clear before, Super Tuesday proved that the GOP belongs to Trump and we’re set for a re-match of 2020 - media fantasies be damned. 
• A series of national polls generated bad headlines for Biden. What, if anything, are the polls and the media missing?
• SCOTUS unanimously ruled that States can’t remove Trump from ballot + SCOTUS agreed to hear Trump’s immunity claim
• Mitch McConnell announced last week that he’s stepping down from the top position for Senate Republicans
• And Kyrsten Sinema officially closed the door for her re-election campaign

In “It’s Giving” we react to Marianne Williamson un-suspending her presidential campaign. 

In our group chat we discuss:

• Jason Kelce's retirement announcement. 
• Taylor Lorenz’s interview with Chaya Raichik who created “Libs of TikTok”

And lastly, we leave you with this good vibe: Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs is canceling $2 BILLION in medical debt for 1 million residents.

New episodes of Vibes Only drop every week. If you like the show, the single biggest thing you can do is leave a rating and a review… it's free, it takes ten seconds, and it's how we get in front of more people who need a politics podcast that isn't going to make them want to move to the woods.

Vibes Only is a weekly political podcast hosted by Brian Derrick (Political Strategist and Founder of @oath.vote) and Glennis Meagher (Political and New Media Strategist and Co-founder of @generatorcollective), two post-Obama political operatives turned creators breaking down the stories of each week in politics, elections, and culture. We aim to be your break from the doom-scrolling and consultant-speak. Just the vibes (and the receipts) with new episodes every Thursday morning.
