   Number 3: How Should the Democratic Party Change?

   On this episode of The Middle, we take your calls on how the Democratic Party should change as it looks to gain power in 2026 and beyond. As the midterms approach, a clear divide has emerged within the party between its more moderate, establishment wing and a wave of progressive breakout candidates. But which way should the party go? And are any big structural changes needed to reflect the views of the modern left? Jeremy is joined by political advisor Jamal Simmons, formerly the communications director for Vice President Kamala Harris, and political commentator Harry Sisson, one of the most influential young Democrats in America. #democrats #democratsvsrepublicans #democratsonshutdown #democratscaveonshutdown #democratsgovernmentshutdown #democratsmomentofsilence #democratslosingvoters #democratsreacttocharlie #democratsreacttovenezuela #democratsvsrepublicansjubilee #democratsvsrepublicansexplained #democratstexas #democratscharliekirk #democratsreactto2024election #democratsblindsidedbydevastatingelectionresults #democratsand #democratsandrepublicansexplained #democratsandrepublicans #democratsandmen #democratsandrepublicansdebate #democratsandrepublicansarguing #democratsandrepublicansswitch #democratsandyoungmen #democratsandimmigration #democratsandtheshutdown #democratsandwhigs #democratsandcharliekirk #democratsandrepublicanshistory #democratsandrepublicansworkingtogether #democratsandtrump Learn more about your ad choices.

   Number 4: How Should the Republican Party Change?

   On this episode of The Middle, we take your calls on how the Republican Party should change, and what it might look like once President Trump is no longer its leader. With the midterms approaching, cracks are starting to show in the party. Trump's approval ratings are slipping, driven by frustration over affordability and foreign policy, and a growing number of high-profile conservatives are breaking with the party publicly. So what comes next? Jeremy is joined by Indiana Lieutenant Governor Micah Beckwith and conservative political commentator S.E.

   Number 5: Reflecting on American Democracy, From the Outside Looking In

   On this special episode of The Middle, Jeremy sits down with author and cultural critic Hubert Saint Olive, whose new book Res Publica in America (Volume I: 2016–2026) offers an outsider's unflinching look at a decade of American upheaval. Saint Olive, who is French, shares his perspective on where American democracy stands today - from the erosion of public trust in institutions to the fracturing of a shared media reality - and what a decade of turmoil reveals about the health of the American experiment.
