The Case for Democrats to Stop Playing Defense

The Run-Up

About this episode

Heading into the 2024 presidential election, a big part of the Democratic Party’s approach is to win through defense — to watch Republicans and promise voters that Democrats will be the solution to G.O.P. extremism.

Some Democrats, however, argue that this is not a viable long-term strategy.

This week, Representative Elissa Slotkin shares what happens when Democrats have a plan, and Megan Hunt, a Nebraska state senator, explains what happens when they don’t.
