Right Now With Perry Bacon

New Mexico will soon become the first state with universal free childcare.

In November, New Mexico will become the first state with no-cost childcare for all children, state officials announced recently. The program will offer up to 10 hours of childcare each day, for kids up to age 12. On the latest edition of Right Now With Perry Bacon, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham explained how she and Democratic legislators in the state gradually built and funded a universal childcare initiative. Lujan Grisham, who served in the U.S. House from 2013 to 2018, also criticized President Trump for not providing enough leadership to prevent a government shutdown. She declined to answer whether she was exploring a 2028 presidential run but said Democrats need to look toward states and governors for policy ideas and potential candidates.

Jimmy Kimmel strongly defended free speech and slammed President Trump in his return to late night after a brief suspension. In the latest edition of Right Now With Perry Bacon, New York Times opinion writer E.J. Dionne and Perry discussed why Kimmel’s fast return was such a coup for pro-democracy voices. He also argued that Democrats are positioning themselves better than in the spring to win concessions from President Trump and Congressional Republicans during government funding negotiations. He said special election results and poll numbers suggest that Democrats are well-positioned for the midterms, even though the voters give the party poor ratings.
