from So You Wanna Be President? with Chris Matthews · host MS NOW
When Jack Kennedy phoned Coretta Scott King to express concern over her husband’s arrest in 1960, it was a risky move in a tense civil rights era. It also helped propel him to victory against Richard Nixon. So, be like Kennedy and jump on that galloping horse of history as it flies by. You don’t get a second chance. Chris is joined in this episode by Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Jon Meacham and former Congresswoman Donna Edwards.For a transcript, please visit https://www.msnbc.com/soyouwannabepresident.
