from The Democratic Constitution Podcast · host Lucas De Hart and Luke Pickrell
In this episode, I talk with Beau J. Baumann, a legal scholar and the author of the recent article “What Would a Russell Vought of the Left Look Like?” Beau dives into the article, discussing Russell Vought’s influence within the Trump administration and his executive-focused constitutional vision. He also discusses the legacy of the New Deal in the US political imagination, the limits of the Democratic Party, the relevance of the Reconstruction period, and the conversations taking place within (along with the value of) the Labor and Political Economy (LPE) Project. We also bring in Beau’s recent blog post, “The Aftermath.”
