Bakari Sellers joins the panel to break down what Francesca Hong’s Wisconsin primary loss means for the future of the Democratic Party. Sellers argues that the issue is less about ideology and more about electability, pointing to challenges progressive candidates face with rural voters and Black voters.
The conversation explores whether Democrats are choosing candidates who can win general elections, the growing influence of the Democratic Socialists of America, and what the party needs to do before the 2026 midterms.
