About this episode
James and Al discuss populism, swing elections, and interview Ron Brownstein and Rebecca Bennett about political challenges and military service.
James and Al welcome journalist Ron Brownstein to discuss the accusations against Graham Platner and the future of Susan Collins’ Senate seat in Maine, Democrats' changing relationship with Israel, the rise of populism on the Left, and the challenges they face in the general election. Then, they are joined by US Navy veteran and congressional candidate for NJ-7, Rebecca Bennett, to dive into her military service, building a coalition to win in a swing district, her opponent's absence from the House, the importance of the American Dream, and why she deserves to win in November.
