Is There A Playbook For Young Democratic Candidates — And Does It Work?

Is There A Playbook For Young Democratic Candidates — And Does It Work?

There are at least 10 Democratic candidates younger than 40 vying for seats in Congress in next year's elections. We discuss what has been successful for recent Gen Z and young millennial candidates, as well as what hasn't. And we ask why we are seeing all these young candidates now.

This episode: political correspondent Sarah McCammon, political reporter Elena Moore, and senior political editor and correspondent Domenico Montanaro.
