#430 : Making the case for a national popular vote.
Looking ahead to 2020. Winning over the white working class. What will it take? Plus, making the case for a national popular vote. And, Bill Press with an early look at the upcoming Democratic primary debate.
What progressive Democrats need to do now to regain the white working class vote. Plus, inside the movement for a national popular vote and the difference it could make. And Bill Press talks The Guardian’s Lauren Gambino on what to expect at the first Democratic primary debate.

And once again, that did not necessarily translate into electoral wins. In an encore interview, our next guest says it’s time to value all votes equally … and why a national popular vote for President is the way to do it.
