The House Democratic Leader on Why "We Fell Short" in the 2024 Election

Congressman Hakeem Jeffries wrote a new illustrated book, "The ABCs of Democracy," simply framing for young audiences his preferred choices for our country. American values over autocracy, benevolence over victory. In the new episode of Bedeviled, I talk to Jeffries about why American voters did not embrace his party's message in 2024, including warnings that Trump poses a danger to democracy itself. He discussed his worries about the incoming Trump administration, where Democrats can work with Republicans, and how Democrats can win back power in 2026 and beyond.
