from Make It Make Sense with Grant Hermes · host Grant Hermes
Why is the Democratic Party so lost right now, and is there actually a path forward?Former presidential campaign manager and Democratic strategist Maya Rupert joins Grant Hermes to break down the real state of the Democratic Party six months out from the 2026 midterms. We get into the DNC's 208-page playbook that says almost nothing about voters, why Chuck Schumer's days as leader are numbered, the devastating Louisiana v. Callais Supreme Court decision gutting the Voting Rights Act, and why Maya believes the answer to all of it starts with one word: authenticity.Maya's new book, The Real Ones, digs into why authenticity in politics is a concept weaponized against candidates of color and women — and what it actually should mean for voters, candidates, and the media covering them.LINKS:Make It Make Sense SubstackThe Real Ones PROMO CODE:The news is chaotic enough, you shouldn't also have to wonder if you're only getting half the story. Ground News shows you how every outlet, left, right, and center, is covering the same event, so you can see the full picture instead of just one side's version of it. Their Blindspot feed even surfaces stories that are being ignored by one side of the political spectrum entirely. Less echo chamber. More clarity.
