Bernie Sanders Is Changing Progressive Politics

In an exclusive interview, the senator talks about how the movement he helped foster is now so much bigger than just him.

TODAY 6:00 AM

Excerpt:

The roots of the Next Left podcast go back almost exactly a year—energized by the wave of progressive activism sweeping the country, we wanted to take a deep dive into the new politics of this moment. The idea was to talk politics with the people who were upending primaries and general elections across the country… by challenging incumbents, taking on party establishments and, above all, bringing fresh ideas to the campaign trail and to governance.

This week, for the final episode of the podcast, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is our guest for a compelling conversation about his own early campaigns, about the importance of Jesse Jackson’s “Rainbow Coalition,” about how he makes endorsements, about the way in which media treats insurgent candidates-and about the inspiration he has taken from the Next Left.
