Is the Democratic Tent Big Enough? (with David Axelrod)
Keeps playing with the screen off. The episode is played from Stay Tuned with Preetβs own podcast host.
As President Trumpβs popularity has declined, Democratic socialists have gained prominence. Are voters looking for significant change? And what could that mean for the midterm elections? This week, David Axelrod, a former Obama advisor, a CNN commentator, and co-host of the Hacks on Tap podcast, joins Preet to unpack Trumpβs political tactics, whether weβre underestimating his ability to rebound in the polls, and how it all could play out come November.Β
Then, Preet answers listener questions about Dr. Anthony Fauci and D.C. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro.
In the bonus for Insiders, Preet and Axelrod discuss how Trump would have handled the Watergate scandal differently from President Nixon. Plus, what was it about President Trumpβs upbringing that shaped his character?
