About the race = Episodes our tagger marks as substantively about a candidate’s 2028 prospects — running, primary positioning, endorsements, nomination polling — not their current job, policy fights, or 2024. Tagging is AI-assisted and precision-tuned — it under-counts rather than over-claims. Being on this board is an editorial call about who’s being discussed, not a prediction or an endorsement.
This measures how much of the news audio is about a candidate’s 2028 prospects — not how popular they are, how they’d poll, or who’ll win. It’s a map of the conversation, not a forecast. Data through Aug 25, 2026.
