This week on Branding Democrats, we are joined by Truth Tony, a former Republican operative turned Democrat with a perspective you won’t hear everywhere.

Tony opens up about his journey from working for conservative Republicans and lobbying for the Realtors to eventually working for Katie Porter — and why Trump’s rise pushed him out of the GOP for good.

Together, we unpack Trump’s latest chaos, including the growing crisis with Iran, the corruption and profiteering surrounding his inner circle, and why Democrats still struggle to clearly define who they are fighting for. The conversation digs into messaging, class politics, Democratic leadership, the party’s branding failures, and what kind of candidate can actually meet this moment.
