Sarah Longwell says Democrats could win back the House in November and still draw the wrong lessons about what voters want. A backlash against Donald Trump, she argues, shouldn’t be mistaken for enthusiasm for Democrats. In this special episode of America, Actually, recorded live at the Texas Tribune Festival, Vox’s Astead Herndon talks with Longwell, publisher of The Bulwark and host of The Focus Group podcast, about what she’s learned from listening to voters across the country. They discuss why voters don’t fit neatly into ideological boxes, how the changing electorate could shape the next presidential election, and what the Republican Party might look like after Trump.
