Description

In just under two months, the first votes will be cast in the Democratic presidential primary. While the epic national drama of impeachment plays out in Washington, candidates are charging through town halls, living rooms, diners, stadiums, and community centers. There are spats and drop-outs and surprises and, yes, even new entrants, as dividing lines, new and old, are litigated and dirty laundry is aired. In other words: a campaign. And Mother Jones reporters are there. For today's show, host Jamilah King is joined by Mother Jones politics reporters Tim Murphy and Kara Voght to talk about Kamala Harris's shock drop-out and what it says about diversity amongst the Democratic field frontrunners; the entrance of billionaire Michael Bloomberg; the surge of Pete Buttigieg in Iowa, and the Great Transparency Wars of 2020; and so much more. Get on the campaign train with Mother Jones.
