    Best Of: Doug Jones (6/21)

    Henry interviews Doug Jones on the podcast, a United States Senator from Alabama from 2018 to 2021, and a Democrat who ran and served in a place that nobody would’ve thought possible for the party to win in. They talk about what he did to get there, how he turned Alabama blue, and how Democrats can win in seemingly impossible places. They then deliberate on the merits and cons of bipartisanship and how to apply it in a polarized government, talk about what life is like inside the Senate, and the ongoing debate about the filibuster. To finish it off, the 2020 election is analyzed and how Democrats can improve their messaging to win in local races. Rate and review the podcast and subscribe!
