Julie and Neal consider the need for candidates to avoid splitting the vote in certain key races, highlighting the rematches and vulnerabilities for incumbents.
They also explore audio from Pete Buttigieg discussing why Democrats struggled in 2020 and expand on how some felt men were treated during that campaign.
