Pete Buttigieg on Where Democrats Go From Here
In This Episode
Pete Buttigieg sits down with Dan to lay out his vision for Democratic leadership in the wake of last week’s blue tsunami, from offering immediate relief on the cost-of-living crisis to tackling systemic problems like corporate money in politics and a broken Supreme Court. Then they discuss factionalism within the Democratic party, why Dems need to think bigger than just reversing the damage caused by Trump, whether Pete’s planning to run for president in 2028, and his new book, “Next,” which comes out early next year.
