    We are not defeated

    The 2024 Presidential election was historic in so many ways. Instead of electing the first woman, and woman of color, to the highest office in the land, voters again elected Donald Trump.

Nunes to reflect–and to learn where we go from here.  Links:  https://now.org/media-center/press-release/racism-sexism-misogyny-and-hate-won-this-election-but-we-wont-let-our-democracy-be-destroyed/.  Guest: Christian F.
