Is This Millennials' Political Moment? w/ Amanda Litman from Run For Something

Grant welcomes Amanda Litman from Run For Something and author of the book When We're In Charge (link below) back on the show to talk about the tipping point in American politics that was this last fall. They talk about the big elections that took place around the country, including Zohran Mamdani's win in NYC. But they also talk about the shift from older politicians and leaders to Millennial and Gen Z candidates, how that's reordering our political landscape and our lives at the national and local levels. Plus, they look ahead to what might be happening as it looks like the Democratic Party is on the edge of leaning into its younger leaders and what that could mean in a post-Trump world. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE SUBSCRIPTION DRIVE! For the next two weeks, Make It Make Sense is running its Substack subscription drive!
