Democratic Governors Holding the Line While Washington Burns


Listen Later

While Washington stalls, governors are governing.

How Democratic governors became the nation’s problem-solvers—and why this year’s races could redefine Democratic momentum heading into 2026.

In this episode, Ofirah Yheskel of the Democratic Governors Association joins Jen Taylor-Skinner to break down the critical gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey—where Democratic women candidates could flip key seats and make history. They discuss why governors have become the front line in protecting healthcare, reproductive rights, and democracy itself, and how this election could set the tone for Democrats heading into 2026.
