They eventually solved their problems, but the Empire was changed forever.

What Could Go Right? - The Kamala Pivot with Evan Osnos

How has the Democrats' shift to Kamala Harris upended the election cycle? Zachary and Emma speak with Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and author Evan Osnos to discuss the current state of the Biden presidency and the rise of Kamala Harris. They look at the factors that led to Biden's decision to drop out of the presidential race and the impact of his decision on the Democratic Party. They discuss the role of social media and the potential impact of this energy on the election for both candidates. The conversation also touches on the reasons why voters in places like West Virginia have turned away from the Democratic Party and the impact of right-wing propaganda.


What Could Go Right? is produced by The Progress Network and The Podglomerate.

In today's episode, Silver speaks with Here & Now's Scott Tong about what differentiates "the River" from what he calls "the Village" – think journalists and professors – and how cancel culture plays a role in this societal structure.
