Are Democrats Well-Positioned for the Midterms?

KQED's Forum

About this episode

With midterm elections a mere eight months away, are Democrats ready? Maybe not, according to journalist Mark Leibovich who traveled the country talking to party leaders about how Democrats intend to meet the moment. Despite Trump’s low approval ratings and a slim Republican majority in Congress, a Democratic rebound is far from a slam dunk with the Republican National Committee currently holding a $100 million fundraising advantage. What happened to the once-confident multiracial coalition of working class men and women? We talk about the future of the Democratic party. Guests: Mark Leibovich, staff writer, The Atlantic - His latest piece is titled "The Democrats Aren't Built for This" Aimee Allison, founder and president, She the People - A national organization dedicated to building the political power of women of color Learn more about your ad choices.
