Summary

Mary Trump is joined by an all-star panel of leading democratic minds consisting of Brian Karem, Danielle Moodie, Jen Taub, and Adam Parkhomenko to strategize for the midterms. Together, they highlight the need for age to give way to youth so that Gen Z is inspired to vote, realizing that we are in a war for the future of diversity and civil rights, and that in abnormal times strengthening voting rights and bringing people to the polls is a necessity.

There are 117 days left until the 2022 midterm elections. Welcome back to the Mary Trump

0:11.6

chose strategy sessions where every week my panel and I try to answer this question.

0:17.6

How do we ensure that the Democrats win races at every level of government and hold on to

0:24.2

or preferably expand our razor-sid margins in the House and Senate?

0:29.6

Tonight I want to start here. In the last few months, the vast majority of Republicans in the House

0:36.4

have voted against preventing price gouging, capping insulin prices, and easing the baby food

shortage. In the last 24 hours, they voted against VA benefits for talks and exposed vets,

0:50.2

a bill to report problems with neo-nazis in the military, a national active shooter alert bill,

administration and don't get me wrong. There have been many. I can see that. But how did those

1:42.5

missteps over the overshadow the very real and significant accomplishments of the administration?

1:50.6

And how is it that Republican obstruction which undermines congressional Democrats' ability to

1:56.4

get their policy initiatives passed always seem to be blamed on the Democrats? And I think it's

2:01.3

this dynamic that makes people very nervous when Biden in particular or the Democrats in general

2:09.3

are criticized. So with my phenomenal guest tonight, Nerd Avengers plus special guest, Danielle
