He discusses the challenges of free and fair elections amidst rising autocracy and highlights the need for grassroots engagement.

Emotional messaging in politics is also explored, contrasting Trump’s and Obama’s approaches, while addressing the struggles of navigating party loyalties in a polarized environment.
