Last night, The Long View’s Ruy Teixeira sat down with journalist Charlie Sykes for a conversation about the state of the two parties ahead of next week’s midterm election. Their discussion covered a wide range of topics, including:
The ongoing fight for the future of the Democratic Party
The rise of the DSA
Populism and the growing anger at societal elites
The Republicans’ prospective 2028 primary field
The state of the Never Trump movement
And plenty more. We hope you enjoy their conversation, and be sure to check out Charlie’s own Substack newsletter, To The Contrary, and his book, How the Right Lost Its Mind.
