This week we welcome a special guest to the podcast: Congressman Ro Khanna of California’s 17th District. First elected in 2016, Rep. Khanna has been a strong advocate for how Democrats can win back working-class voters. We cover his book, Dignity in a Digital Age: Making Tech Work for All of Us, and why the tech industry swung towards Trump last year.
We then turn to Trump’s joint address to Congress—are Democrats willing to side with the new administration on anything? How can Democrats effectively push back against Trump? We also talk about Rep. Khanna’s bipartisan idea for a National Development Council and why a Frederick Douglass speech might have great advice for lost Democrats.
Join us for a great conversation on how the party can emerge from last year’s defeat better equipped to help working-class people and win elections!
A transcript of this podcast is available at the post page on the TLP website.
