    Description

    Today on the Gist, political writer Harry Enten from Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight handicaps Democratic and Republican chances in November’s key Senate races. Plus, Adam Davidson from Planet Money explains why economic theory says a higher minimum wage is a terrible, terrible idea, but economic reality may differ. In today’s Spiel, Mike teaches us his special song hack with help from “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” by Gordon Lightfoot and “Whoomp! (There It Is)” by Tag Team.Get The Gist by email as soon as it’s available: slate.com/GistEmailSubscribe to the podcast in iTunes: itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/slate…id873667927?mt=2Learn more about your ad choices.
