Neera Tanden

Neera Tanden is president of the very influential Center for American Progress and she’s joining us remotely from Washington, D.C.Neera has had a long and influential career in Democratic campaign politics and public policy. She’s worked on campaigns for Michael Dukakis, Bill Clinton, Obama/Biden, and was a senior adviser to Hillary Clinton throughout the 2016 Democratic Primary and General Election. Among many achievements on the policy side, Neera helped draft health care legislation for Obama’s signature Affordable Care Act. She’s appeared on NBC’s Meet The Press, HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher and many other shows with slightly higher profiles that The Herle Burly, so I feel pretty damn lucky to have Neera on the pod. One look at her Twitter, where she has almost ¼ million followers, will tell you she is also a noted and vocal Trump resistor.Join me for my conversation with Neera about Trumpism, and how to beat him, the Democratic Primary, and women in US politics.The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as Queen's Park Today.Thank you for joining us on The Herle Burly podcast.
