Moving Forward: How Americans Are Responding to the Start of the Trump Era
As the transition toward a Donald Trump presidency begins, Heather McGhee, President of Demos Action and Demos Org, discusses how Americans have been responding to the election and the events that have followed, and what the progressives need to do going forward. Listeners also call in to offer their responses.
