With just a few months left until the midterms and President
Trump’s approval ratings hovering in the 30s, Democrats believe
they’re poised to retake power in Congress this November. But party
leaders worry a slate of primary wins by insurgent-left candidates
could undermine their chances. And yet, Democratic voters made it
clear they are looking for change by rejecting some of the
establishment’s top recruits in primaries from Colorado to New York
and beyond. Kara is joined by three experts to talk about the rise
of these insurgent candidates: Adam Jentleson, president and
founder of Searchlight Institute and author of the forthcoming book
"Supermajority: How Democrats Can Build Lasting Power”; Amanda
Litman, co-founder and president of Run for Something, a
progressive group that works to recruit and support first-time
candidates in state and local races; and Roshni Nedungadi, founding
partner and chief research officer at HIT Strategies, a public
opinion research company that specializes in researching young
people and people of color. Kara, Adam, Amanda and Roshni explain
why these candidates are gaining traction, what voters are looking
for, and how Democrats can navigate these divides in the party over
the next few months. Questions? Comments? Email us at
