About this episode
What will governance look like when Democrats take back power? How will they undo the blatant corruption that we’ve seen under Trump 2.0? Our guest, Pete Buttigieg, says we can’t go back to how things were. There has to be a new normal.
Former Transportation Secretary and presidential candidate, Pete Buttigieg, joins the show to talk strategy: how Democrats can win, and what they need to do when they have power.
Join hosts Angela Rye and Bakari Sellers for episode 150 of Native Land Pod. We are 40 days away from the midterm elections. Welcome home y’all!
