Chew's Views with Richard ChewRichard Chew is joined by Amy McGrath, political and national security analyst, former fighter pilot and U.S. Marine Corps combat veteran, founder of Democratic Majority Action PAC, two-time U.S. Senate candidate, Democratic nominee for U.S. House, author of "Honor Bound: An American Story of Dreams and Service," and co-host, with Denver Riggleman, of the politics and national security podcast “Truth in the Barrel.”
Richard and Amy discussed how Democrats should build on midterm election results through public communication and dually focus on affordability and accountability. Here are a few highlights from the conversation:
- They celebrated recent Democratic wins and credited candidates, organizers, and voters for sustained engagement.
- Amy said women voters helped drive the results and noted the historic number of women veterans entering the House.
- They argued Democrats should communicate daily across platforms about their work and how it affects people’s lives.
- They supported pursuing affordability measures, including restoring SNAP and Medicaid funding and ACA subsidies, while exposing corruption through investigations.
- Amy favored a roughly equal emphasis on affordability and accountability, noting that Democrats should advance beneficial bills even if the president vetoes them.
