Summary
Three weeks on from Donald Trump's historic comeback, the clamour for answers about where it all went wrong within the Democrat party is reaching a fever pitch. Kamala Harris has released a message to supporters urging them not to let anyone 'take their power' - but with her party consigned to another four years out of the White House, how can they rebuild and reconnect with the voters who deserted them at the ballot box? Jon and Emily speak to former Congressman and ally of Nancy Pelosi, Steve Israel.

| 0:27.4 | You're 23 years old. |
| 0:29.0 | I don't really give a shit what you think. |
| 0:32.2 | And let me tell you another huge error, huge fucking error to me, |
| 0:41.4 | is when people said, campaigns need to reflect progressive values. No, they don't. Campaigns are authoritarian by their nature. And if I will |
