Party in the U.S.A.: The meaning of this moment

It’s the first episode in which we can say it: Joe Biden will be the next president of the United States. Yes, there will be challenges to come — including legal challenges from a defiant incumbent — but for now we’d like to focus on the significance of this historic moment. Today Elamin calls up Baratunde Thurston, the Emmy award-winning host of ‘How to Citizen with Baratunde’ and ‘We’re Having A Moment’ who believes “we've taken a step toward resolution, toward peace, toward democracy, toward voting integrity, toward decency and humanity and away from bullying.” They discuss what a Biden-Harris win means for America, and how to unite a fractured left in the wake of Biden’s win.
