About Political Hangover

What is Political Hangover?
Political Hangover is where politics meets the morning after. It’s about that bleary-eyed moment when the confetti settles, the spin slows down, and reality kicks in. Written by Scott English—veteran of Capitol Hill, the South Carolina Governor’s Office, and too many crisis calls to count—this newsletter explores the aftershocks of political decisions, the cost of bad governance, and the moments of clarity that follow the chaos.

It’s for anyone who’s ever woken up wondering how we got here—and what we’re supposed to do next.

Because let’s face it: every party comes with a hangover.
