In this episode of “The David Frum Show,” The Atlantic’s David Frum
discusses the recent allegations toward Democratic Senate candidate
Graham Platner. David warns Democrats that if they don't exercise
caution with candidate selection, they risk losing winnable races
in the 2026 midterm elections. Then, David is joined by Shannon
Watts, the founder of Moms Demand Action, to discuss the increasing
hostility toward women manifesting itself in the progressive wing
of the Democratic Party. David and Shannon discuss misogyny on the
left and right wings of American politics, increasing voter rancor
to the perceived “establishment,” and the possibility of a “tea
party” movement brewing on the left. Finally, David discusses
Killing Baby Hitler by Michael Tomasky and the dangers of
“alternative history” as an intellectual exercise. Sign
