The Rise of the Working Class Candidate

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.
