Latika Takes interviews Democratic strategist Doug Sosnik

The former adviser to Bill Clinton discusses the way forward for the Democrats in the Trump-era

This week Latika Takes: The Podcast speaks to Doug Sosnik, who served as political director to former US President Bill Clinton.

Sosnik is steeped in the party, advising more than 50 U.S. senators and governors and working on several Democratic presidential bids.

Latika and Doug discuss whether Donald Trump is showing fascist tendencies and why the Democrats and the rest of the country have failed to respond.

Latika asks if California Governor Gavin Newsom’s nascent attacks are the way forward for the Dems.

Sosnik outlines why populism is the new orthodoxy in US politics, whether on the right or left and details how the current leadership of the Democrats failed to handover to the next generation.
