Summary

James and Al analyze the New Hampshire primary results and lay out the evidence of the Republican Party’s capitulation to Trump.  Then, they welcome journalist Joshua Green to explore how the combination of the 2008 financial crisis and pandemic’s economic effects led to the rebellion on the Democratic Left, represented by Elizabeth Warren, AOC, and Bernie Sanders.  They discuss the electoral viability of the rebels’ policy positions, the ways that their politics have influenced successful moderates like President Biden, and the growing distance between the parties.

Email your questions to James and Al at politicswarroom@gmail.com or tweet them to @politicon.  Make sure to include your city, we love to hear where you’re from!
