Barker discusses Democratic confidence heading into the midterms and examines competitive Senate races in states including Kansas, Nebraska, Michigan and Georgia. The conversation also explores the appeal of economic populism, working-class voters and what could determine whether Democrats can make gains in traditionally Republican territory. 

Then Ryan and Evan turn toward 2028: Is Kamala Harris preparing another presidential campaign? Could Jon Ossoff emerge as a national contender? Where do JB Pritzker, Rahm Emanuel, AOC and other potential candidates fit into a Democratic Party divided between progressive activists, traditional Democrats and working-class voters?

Barker also explains why he believes Harris could run again, while discussing the challenges she could face during a prolonged Democratic primary campaign. 

Plus, Evan discusses his New York Times bestselling book Nothing Leftand what his firsthand experience inside Democratic politics taught him about the direction of the party.
