The Vanquished: Podcast about Presidential Losers

Vanquished is a political comedy podcast and American history podcast that examines presidential election losers. We trace the downfall of failed U.S. candidates through their campaigns, gaffes, debates, primaries, conventions, and ads—then use a leftist perspective to connect past lessons to today’s politics.

Hosted by two redheaded, left-wing comedians who love history and politics, we mix sharp analysis with humor—because nothing’s funnier than watching would-be presidents spectacularly bomb on the national stage.

Perfect for fans of U.S. presidential elections, political history, and comedy podcasts—if you enjoy a deep, witty dive into American politics and why it matters now, this is your show.
