After a brief assessment of President Biden’s strategy to shut down his critics, Ben and Nayeema move on to the larger culture and gender wars that will define the 2024 election, regardless of who ends up on the Democratic ticket. They look at recent upheavals of a media-fueled myth that women can “have it all” and dig into how trends of trad wives, polyamory and “hot celibacy summer” pierce that mythology, as does the conservative Project 2025.Then they connect with Lindsay Peoples, editor-in-chief of The Cut, to discuss vibe shifts, the politicization of gender roles and whether the publication is putting its thumb on the scale for Kamala Harris. Finally, Max Tani joins to rid us of our blindspots, replete with DC spin and (national security) influencers in the wild. If you have a tip or a comment, email us mixedsignals@semafor.comFind us on X: @semaforben, @nayeema @maxwelltani or on Instagram @nayeemaraza Sign up for Semafor Media’s Sunday newsletter: https://www.semafor.com/newsletters/mediaMixed Signals from Semafor Media is presented by Think with Google
