Summary

In 2015, at 25 years old, Symone Sanders was hired as the National Press Secretary for Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign. She went on to hold senior communications positions for President Biden’s 2020 campaign, and for Vice President Harris in the White House. Now, she’s the host of Symone, an opinion show on MSNBC. Preet speaks with Sanders about the private personalities of her famous bosses, the strength of the Biden administration’s message, and how to reach “non-political group chats.” Plus, Preet addresses the upcoming hearings on the Jan. 6 insurrection, and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s claims that she can’t recall text messages from that day. In the bonus for CAFE Insiders, Sanders discusses the value of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s recent actions around gerrymandering and anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation.
