Galen Druk: 本期节目讨论了美国国会面临的两大挑战：参议员Dianne Feinstein的缺席导致民主党无法批准司法提名，以及债务上限问题可能导致政府资金耗尽。节目还探讨了美国民众对这些问题的看法，以及对最受欢迎和最不受欢迎的参议员和州长的民调结果。 Nate Silver: 共和党提出的债务上限协议总体上不受欢迎，尽管大多数美国人认为政府支出过多。该协议包括削减联邦支出，但具体到各个项目，民众并不支持削减。 Alex Samuels: 关于Feinstein的去留问题，一些民主党人公开呼吁其辞职，另一些人则为其辩护。Feinstein的缺席阻碍了民主党人的优先事项。 Nathaniel Rakich: 债务上限谈判可能会持续到最后一刻，各方可能会在最后期限临近时达成协议。共和党州长比民主党州长更受欢迎，这与各州的政治倾向有关。如果考虑各州的政治倾向，民主党州长的受欢迎程度高于共和党州长。

Shownotes Transcript

Congress returned from recess last week to two ongoing conflicts. One was Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s absence from the Senate, stalling the process by which Democrats can approve their judicial nominees. The other was what to do about the debt ceiling, which has already been breached and could lead to the U.S. government running out of money as early as June. In this installment of the podcast, the crew discusses the latest developments and what Americans think about it all.

They also dig into new data on America’s most and least popular senators and governors, and ask which animals American are and aren't willing to eat.
