Episode Description
Bill interviews former DNC chair and Senate candidate Jaime Harrison about the midterms, arguing they’re a chance to check Donald Trump by flipping the House and potentially the Senate. Harrison says Trump’s push to restrict mail-in voting is hypocritical and would disenfranchise many voters, including military overseas. Harrison is bullish on Democratic prospects, comparing the cycle to 2006, citing GOP overreach, corruption, and strong Democratic special-election performance. He discusses countering GOP redistricting moves, candidate recruitment, and targeting Senate races in Georgia, Michigan (a concern due to a heated primary), Alaska (a “dark horse” with Mary Peltola), North Carolina (Roy Cooper), Texas, Ohio (Sherrod Brown), Maine, and Montana via an independent who would caucus with Democrats. He urges a message centered on affordability and healthcare, downplays fundraising gaps, and promotes his “Dirt Road Dems” PAC focused on rural organizing in the South.
Today Bill reminds us that the best way to support Democrats financially is through ACTBlue.com.
