Today I sit down with John Avlon, a Democrat running to represent New York’s First Congressional District. A veteran political analyst and former editor-in-chief of the Daily Beast, John hopes to unseat first-term Republican Nick LaLota. He walks us through his fascinating career and gives us a detailed breakdown of why NY-01 is a swing district. We discuss the need for comprehensive immigration reform and whether Biden should use his executive authority at the border. We wrap up with a discussion of Bill Clinton’s creed of “opportunity, responsibility, community” and why it’s so important to elect common-sense Democrats. This is a public episode.

Is Donald Trump a 90s-era Democrat? This week’s guest, the estimable Batya Ungar-Sargon, argues that he might be just that. She joins the podcast for a fascinating conversation about her new book: Second Class: How the Elites Betrayed America’s Working Men and Women. Based on her in-depth conversations with working-class Americans across the country, we explore the plundering of the middle class, elite paternalism, and why the working class isn’t getting behind Biden. Stick around as Batya makes the case for why the party that focuses on the health care-immigration nexus can establish a ruling majority.  This is a public episode.
