Pennsylvania is the crossroads for the insanity

from On Democracy with FPWellman

Pennsylvania could once again be at the center of American politics in 2026. With several competitive House races that could help determine control of Congress, and a political landscape that remains deeply divided, the Keystone State may offer Democrats one of their clearest paths to rebuilding power in Washington. Fred is joined by Conor Lamb, former U.S. Representative from Pennsylvania's 17th District, former federal prosecutor, and Marine veteran, to discuss what Democrats need to do to win Pennsylvania, the state of the rule of law under President Trump, attacks on reproductive rights, the future of the filibuster, and the increasingly complicated politics around our trade war with Canada.Sponsors:Chapter: "For free and unbiased Medicare help, dial  937-507-8644 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter, or go to www.askchapter.org/ondemocracy Paid PartnershipChapter and its affiliates are not connected with or endorsed by any government entity or the federal Medicare program.
