Dan Schnur

But they're more open to more dramatic change than their parents and grandparents.

Dan Schnur teaches political communications at UC Berkeley and USC and says the generational change in politics is also evident in the race for the newly redrawn 4th Congressional District.

With still more than half the ballots to count, political newcomer Eric Jones is leading 14-term congressman Mike Thompson.

Thanks to redistricting, this is not really Mike Thompson's district.

You had two people that were fighting on the same team just months ago in Nithya Raman and Karen Bass, both spending considerable time there at L.A. City Hall.

Yeah, and I talked to USC politics professor Dan Schnur about... what changed since there was the poll in September that had Nithya Raman up by double digits, and the most recent poll has them now in a statistical dead heat, and I asked him what changed in the couple weeks up until now.

It's been reported that she was told by

her initial team of advisors that she could not win this campaign by trying to convince the Angelenos that she had been a better mayor than they had thought.

They also have two former members of the Fair Political Practices Commission, the state's campaign watchdog group.

former Chair Dan Schnur, and former Commissioner Colleen McAndrews.

Both signed the official argument against Proposition 4.

In the legislature, Republicans led the opposition, including Assembly Members Carol DeMeo and David Tangipa.

It was so cool.

And so I had a teacher named Professor Schnur, who was a press secretary, ran comms for Republican governors in California.

And he became one of my favorite professors.

I guess teachers is not officially a professor.

I go to Cal.

I work on campaigns.

I buy a one-way ticket to D.C. And based on my being motivated and inspired by Dan Schnur, who's still teaching at Cal, I tell everyone I want to be a press secretary.

I had no idea of how ludicrous that was.

[instrumental music plays] As the countdown to the November 3rd midterm elections in the United States ticks away, one state remains the central focus of the country, and American Jews in particular, Michigan.

Three weeks away from election day, political analyst Dan Schnur says it's anyone's race.

So anyone who tells you that they know how this race is going to turn out is simply not telling you the truth because it is too close to call.

The battle is between Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed and Republican Mike Rogers.

Whereas Mike Rogers, she says, is a candidate who won't do any of that.

And who only cares about self-enrichment, uh, and, you know, how many pats on the back he can get from Donald Trump.

Political analyst Dan Schnur says Rogers is not hardcore MAGA, but he has been a pretty loyal member of the party.

But for the Michigan Jews and Democrats who are supporting him...

Uh, the, I so a- appreciate you pointing that out, Karl.

I had a guy named Dan Schnur, I'm sure you know Dan-

Oh, I know Dan
