As Democrats seek to reestablish their credibility, Jon is joined by Crooked Media founders and "Pod Save America" hosts Jon Favreau and Jon Lovett. Together, they dissect the political and media environment that shields established leaders from accountability, debate how Democrats should position themselves during Trump's second term, and explore what qualities might help future Democratic candidates break through.
