“Hit ‘Em Where it Hurts” – a Road Map for how Democrats can compete and win
W2D welcomes back political strategist Rachel Bitecofer for an honest conversation about where the Democratic Party is today and the clear, strong strategies and messages we need to take back the U.S. House in 2026 and the White House in 2028. The author of Hit ‘Em Where It Hurts, Rachel will discuss how to win elections against the GOP's massive propaganda machine and the current administration’s efforts to subvert our election process. Bring your questions for a lively conversation.
