Congressman Ro Khanna and Franklin Foer in Conversation: Defending Democracy and Unifying the Democratic Party: What Happens Now?

Congressman Ro Khanna and Franklin Foer

Join Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna with Atlantic staff writer and New York Times bestselling author Franklin Foer (The Last Politician) on the volatile state of the election and the battle to save our democracy this November.

If the last four years have taught us anything about the political life of our country, it is that American democracy is not a given. It has to be reaffirmed and defended. Now that Joe Biden has exited the presidential race and endorsed Kamala Harris, how will the Democratic Party unify and work to protect our democratic ideals? Congressman Ro Khanna has worked closely with the White House to pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill, and Foer spent two years meticulously researching and reporting on Joe Biden’s first term for his bestselling book, The Last Politician — two critical vantage points on a changing Democratic Party infused with a sense of urgency that democracy is on the ballot in 2024. Hear them discuss their visions of America — from the halls of Congress to the West Wing to the world of journalism and beyond — on the shifting state of our democratic values in the last four years, where America is headed, what a Kamala Harris presidency might look like, and what is at stake in the upcoming election.
