The Rise of the Working Class Candidate

What Party Gets You Closer to the American Dream?   Michigan’s primary on Tuesday between a progressive, Abdul El-Sayed, and an establishment candidate, Haley Stevens, mirrors battles that have been playing out across the country. Here’s the question: how left is too left?    Maurice Mitchell, National Director of the Working Families Party, joins us to talk about the electability of left-of-left candidates.
