Progressive Democratic politicians who refuse to take donations from pro-Israel groups have won several party primary elections across the United States. Democratic Congressman Jim McGovern tells host Steve Clemons that the left is rising because Americans “want more from Democrats”. “Right now, we're doing a lot of bad things all around the world, and people need to protest,” McGovern says. On US policy ranging from Cuba to Israel, he argues that Congress has become “just a rubber stamp on whatever this president wants to do”. “We need to fight for the soul of this country,” McGovern adds. #unitedstates #politics #uspolitics #history
