Democrats Don’t Think They Have This Election Won

Democrats Don’t Think They Have This Election Won

I’m reporting from the Democratic National Convention this week, so we’re going to try something a little different on the show — a daily audio report of what I’m seeing and hearing here in Chicago. For our first installment, I’m joined by my producer, Rollin Hu, to discuss what the convention’s opening night revealed about the Democratic Party after a tumultuous couple of months. We talk about how Joe Biden transformed the party over the past four years, the behind-the-scenes efforts to shape the party under Kamala Harris, the impact of the Gaza protests and why many Democrats — despite Harris’s recent momentum — feel cautious about their odds in November.

Mentioned:

Trump Turned the Democratic Party Into a Pitiless Machine” by Ezra Klein

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Full Speech at Democratic National Convention
