Francesca Hong’s progressive platform test

from The Playbook Podcast · host POLITICO

Francesca Hong may be leading the polls, but she's heading into Wisconsin's gubernatorial primary without some of the progressive movement's biggest names at her side. Sen. Bernie Sanders, Rep. Alexendra Ocasio-Cortez, and even far left streamer Hasan Piker won’t be campaigning for Hong today. Then Playbook co-authors Will Steakin and Adam Wren invite Playbook contributor Megan Messerly to discuss Darline Graham’s bid in South Carolina’s special election, the fallout post Trump’s latest executive order on vaccine schedules, and the legacy of “Woke 1.”    For more news and analysis, subscribe to the Playbook newsletter: politico.com/playbook
