Exploring Cultural Divides in Politics

This week, we discuss whether Donald Trump and the Republicans have a mandate. 

Next, we discuss whether America has a cohesive “working class.”

Finally, in our separate Politicology+ episode we talk about the national security risks that data harvesting presents—and how we might use it to get better privacy protection for all of us. 

Joining Ron Steslow on this week’s panel: 

Mike Madrid (Lincoln Project cofounder, author of The Latino Century)

Lucy Caldwell (Board Advisor to the Renew Democracy Initiative and advisor to the Forward Party)

Liam Donovan (Principal at Bracewell LLP)
