The Most Bipartisan Congressman in America
from Warm Intro · host Chai Mishra
Congressman Mike Lawler holds a seat that no other Republican had held since the year he was born (he is a 39-year-old Republican from deep-blue New York).The reason he was able to win — and keep — that seat is the same reason he's been ranked one of the most bipartisan members of Congress: he understands the assignment. He knows politics is about persuasion, not purity. It's about talking to people you disagree with and finding areas of agreement so you can make progress.Join us for our final conversation of the season about Americans' love of flipping off the president, the worst part of campaigning, whether bipartisanship is even a virtue worth aspiring to anymore, what President George W. Bush is proudest of, and why you shouldn’t give up on America just yet.Warm IntroA conversation, not an interview. Warm, sometimes weird, conversations with interesting people doing big things.
