The hosts talk through Beto's launch in El Paso, what the initial campaign fundraising reports are saying for various of the candidates, and they react to the current Biden situation.
Beto O'Rourke outraised Bernie Sanders. Gillibrand held her first town hall after formally announcing her run. A Biden/Abrams ticket may be in our future. And well... Stephanie has got a lot to say about all that. Kyle and Stephanie breakdown this nonstop stream of primary news and offer their takes on what candidates need to do to address ALL voters.
Hickenlooper and Inslee are in and the candidates are slowly entering the public more and more. The hosts talk about the barrage of CNN town halls from last week, Sanders and Castro's debate over reparations, who's running and who's not. They are later joined by Ray Buckley - Chair of the New Hampshire Democratic Party - in the final primary state interview to talk about what candidates need to do to win New Hampshire.
Bernie is in. Still no word on Beto, Biden, or Brown. The hosts give an update and interview Jaime Harrison, DNC Associate Chair and Former South Carolina Democratic Party Chair, about South Carolina, a key primary state. They discuss what the voters are looking for, why South Carolina is so important, and put a rest to the eternal South Carolina barbecue debate.
We sat down with Alana Mounce - Executive Director of Nevada State Democratic Party - to talk through a rundown of the Nevada Caucuses & how they work, what Nevada voters are looking for, and how Nevada came to be one of the first four states to vote in the primary.
Amanda Brown Lierman, former DNC political and organizing director, joins us to talk about what it will take to distinguish the truly great primary candidates in an evergrowing race, who will be able to galvanize their supporters in a way to lead an impactful campaign, and offers some advice for young organizers looking to jump on to and work for a presidential campaign.
Today, we are joined by Paul Tewes, one the foremost political experts in the country and State Director of President Obama's historic 2008 Iowa Caucus campaign, to understand Iowa's importance during the primaries, what the American people are looking for in a presidential candidate in 2020, and what candidates can do to stand out against their opponents.
What makes a good President? Is it really someone you want to have a beer with? What makes a good candidate? Who will be able to become the 46th president of the United States of America?
