When House progressives joined in an unprecedented show of strength last month to fight for a strong Build Back Better reconciliation bill, many were taken by surprise. But not The Intercept’s D.C. Bureau Chief Ryan Grim, who’s been chronicling the rise of the party’s insurgent wing for years and wrote that “the progressive flex was a long time coming.”
What comes next for congressional Democrats will be even more important. Can they overcome an army of corporate lobbyists to enact Medicare expansion and Green New Deal programs? Or will they waffle and splinter — allowing Biden’s agenda to languish, breeding yet more public cynicism?
A year before the midterm elections — and the day after critical elections in Virginia, New Jersey, and Massachusetts — join Grim, investigative reporter Lee Fang, and Washington editor Nausicaa Renner for a live discussion about the struggle for the future of the Democratic Party.
