Schneider: What we have to do…is stay focused on those things that are going to advance the ball, improve people’s lives, and give them the confidence that we’re on the right path and to stick with this team.
Washington, D.C. – On this week’s Neoliberal Podcast, host Jeremiah Johnson sits down with Rep. Brad Schneider (IL-10), a leader of the New Democrat Coalition. They break down what role the New Democrats played in advancing the American Rescue Plan, whether bipartisanship is still possible in today’s Congress, why the GOP is so focused on obscure culture war fighting, and how history will remember the Trump years.
“The worst thing I think we can do is get into a debate of whether we should read Dr. Seuss books or not… what we have to do – as the New Dem Coalition, as the Democratic Caucus, as the new Biden administration – is stay focused on those things that are going to advance the ball, improve people’s lives, and give them the confidence that we’re on the right path and to stick with this team. And that’s what my colleagues and I have every intention of doing,” said Rep. Brad Schneider on the podcast.
