Summary

James and Al reflect on the recent primary elections, the raid on Mar-a-Lago, and the Democrats’ growing odds in the midterms. Then, they bring on Princeton professor and author Sean Wilentz to dive into the potential of populism and an embrace of FDR’s and Bill Clinton’s legacies to revitalize the party. Will that be the key to defeating the growing radicalism of MAGA Republicans?

Email your questions to James and Al at [email protected] or tweet them to @politicon.
