Red States are Laboratories of Autocracy. With Democracy Activist David Pepper

David Pepper, former chair of the Ohio Democratic Party, discusses the importance of focusing on races beyond the presidential election, such as State House and Senate seats and governorships as well as the U.S. House. He highlights the need for Democrats to compete in every district and emphasizes the threat of Project 2025, a plan by Trump supporters to dismantle the government if Trump is reelected. Pepper also discusses the use of school vouchers to undermine public education and calls for action to protect public schools. He is writing a novel that exposes the dangers of Project 2025 with the aim to make the threat more accessible to voters.
