The Brian Lehrer Show

Domenico Montanaro, lead politics editor at NPR, breaks down the latest political news out of Washington, like Senator Bernie Sanders's campaign launch, why the Democratic party is embracing more "socialist" messaging and the election fraud story from North Carolina.

On Sen. Sanders using recurring monthly payments for campaign donations:
"It’s a huge tool for a campaign to use… Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says it’s like Netflix but for un-bought members of Congress," says @DomenicoNPR.

"Democrats sort of like that new car smell more a little bit more. You don’t tend to see them pick people who had played a significant role in the primary before. Hillary Clinton is the first person since Adlai Stevenson in 1956," says @DomenicoNPR.
