LEVER TIME PREMIUM: Democratic Voters are Pushing Back Against the Party Machine

On this week’s exclusive bonus episode of Lever Time for premium subscribers, Senior Podcast Producer Arjun Singh sits down with Democratic strategist Mark Longabaugh to take the temperature of Democrats’ footing with the public. Longabaugh, who worked on primary campaigns for Bill Clinton in 1992 and Bernie Sanders in 2016, is no stranger to political upsets — that’s why he thinks Democrats need to get it together in 2024. 

In the conversation, Longabaugh explains that he believes public anger over Biden’s handling of the Gaza war, mixed with Democratic attempts to keep primary opponents off the ballot, should be issues the Biden team takes seriously. Because if they don’t, he thinks it could bring Donald Trump back to the White House.
