The Rise of the Working Class Candidate
Description
What Party Gets You Closer to the American Dream?
Michigan’s primary on Tuesday between a progressive, Abdul El-Sayed, and an establishment candidate, Haley Stevens, mirrors battles that have been playing out across the country. Here’s the question: how left is too left?
Maurice Mitchell, National Director of the Working Families Party, joins us to talk about the electability of left-of-left candidates. Him and Angela have a healthy debate about the recent missteps of Seattle’s “far left” mayor Katie Wilson.
Join hosts Angela Rye and Bakari Sellers for episode 143 of Native Land Pod.
