From Anti-Trump to Pro-Something (Live from Crooked Con)

Last week’s midterm landslide was powered in part by Trump voters pulling the lever for Democrats instead. But that doesn’t mean their view of the Democratic Party has improved — or that they won’t swing back in 2028. Live from Crooked Con, Jon hosts Sen. Chris Van Hollen, Rep. Sarah McBride, Rep.-elect Melat Kiros, and former mayor Mitch Landrieu to talk about what Democrats actually stand for, where the party is going, and what needs to change before the next presidential election. Then, Lovett sits down with Sen. Elissa Slotkin to talk about the grueling Senate campaign in Michigan, why she’s so hesitant to support Sen. Chuck Schumer for majority leader, and whether she might run for the job herself.
