- “Democrats need to move on from 2024.”
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore tells POLITICO’s Jonathan Martin that Democrats lost because they failed to deliver results fast enough and warns the party against spending years “studying” voters’ frustrations instead of fixing them.
“You’ve got to deliver results, man,” Moore says. “If you deliver results, you’re not going to have to go over an autopsy as to why you lost.”

- POLITICO White House reporter Alex Gangitano joins the Playbook Podcast from Beijing, where she’s traveling with Donald Trump during his first state visit to China in nearly a decade. With host Jack Blanchard and China correspondent Phelim Kine, the team unpacks a day of closed-door meetings, carefully choreographed optics and mounting tension between the world’s two biggest powers.
Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping spent more than two hours discussing Taiwan, trade, Iran, fentanyl and the broader future of US-China relations. The team digs into the very different messages coming out of Washington and Beijing, the business heavyweights brought into the talks — including Elon Musk and Tim Cook — and what Trump needs to bring home politically from one of the most closely watched summits of his presidency.
