Summary

Briahna sits down with Carlos Cardona and Marcurius Byrd, the New Hampshire and South Carolina state directors for Marianne Williamson's 2024 campaign about what it would take for a progressive to win, and whether it's even possible given what we know about how the DNC put the finger on the scale in the last two Democratic primaries. What lessons were learned from how Bernie operated in South Carolina? Do the changes to the primary schedule improve Marianne's chances in New Hampshire? And should progressives invest emotionally if not financially in this race? An insider view of the campaign you wont get anywhere else.

0:40.0

So New Hampshire, my understanding, is feeling rather chagrined about no longer having priority

0:47.1

in the voting schedule.

0:49.6

Does that create a potential for a potential benefit for Marianne in that state?

0:55.8

And how do you see that playing out if it makes people happy in South Carolina and South

1:00.1

Carolina is going first?

1:01.1

Will it even matter if that boosts Marianne somewhat in New Hampshire?

1:04.8

1:13.2

1:17.4

think New Hampshire is going to apply the law and we're going to go first.

1:21.3

So I just won my election for a rules committee here in the state and I'm really excited
