from Mansplaining · host Mark and Joe
Send us Fan MailIn recent decades, the Democratic Party has hemorrhaged support from the working-class white voters who once formed the backbone of its New Deal coalition. While Dems have maintained a slight electoral majority over the last three decades, they’ve struggled to enact their agenda in a minoritarian political system. What might it take to turn a slight edge into a durable governing majority, and which politician might lead them to that promised land? Joe has his eye on John Fetterman, and he and Mark discuss Fetterman’s career, the issues he champions, and whether he heralds the return of blue-collar liberalism. (Recorded February 23, 2024.)
