Godwin’s Country, Billionaire Bathos, McCarthy’s Math

Welcome back to The Daily Courant, your afternoon roundup of Puck’s latest reporting.

Today, we kick things off with Dylan Byers’ dissection of the tabloid scandal rocking Good Morning America, and how it’s reverberating all the way up to the office of ABC News President Kim Godwin, who is getting her turn in the TV news barrel.

Then, below the fold, Bill Cohan examines America’s billionaire fatigue. Tina Nguyen identifies the fascinating subplots in the R.N.C. leadership race. And on The Powers That Be, Tara Palmeri joins Peter Hamby to run the numbers on Kevin McCarthy’s Speakership odds, while Teddy Schleifer takes listeners behind the scenes of his remarkable interview with Sam Bankman-Fried.
