The End of the Trump Era with Maurice Mitchell

from Democracy in Color with Steve Phillips · host Democracy in Color

The beginning—and the end—of the Trump era is here. National Director Maurice Mitchell returns to the show for a three-peat to discuss how the Working Families Party (WFP) is approaching these next four years under Trump and why they’ve dubbed the next ten years as the “Working Families’ Decade.” Maurice lays out a compelling vision for the future of American politics and explains why he and the WFP see an opportunity to fill the inevitable gaps that will emerge during Trump’s presidency as he toes the line between the billionaire coalition and some disillusioned working-class voters.  He explains what Democrats need to do as they recalibrate and why the “woke-ism” debates are a distraction from the real issues facing the multiracial working class.  References: Maurice Mitchell - @mauricewfp.bsky.social Working Families Party - workingfamilies.org "Left Organizing Is in Crisis. Philanthropy Is a Major Reason Why" by Nina Luo, The Nation
