If there’s a lesson that Stacey Abrams has taught us, it’s to never concede a cause that’s worth fighting for. The former candidate for governor of Georgia joined Ed and Daniella this week to talk about her work with Fair Fight 2020, a new group that seeks to ensure that every American has their right to vote protected. Abrams, who is a member of the board at the Center for American Progress, also offers some insight on how progressives can build winning and inclusive electoral coalitions.

In the first full episode of The Tent, hosts Daniella Gibbs Léger and Ed Chung explore the big story lines of the week that are filling Twitter timelines and cable news chyrons. They also check in with former Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe for an extensive interview about his new book Beyond Charlottesville. McAuliffe, who was chairman of the D.N.C. in the early 2000s, shares some insight about his time as governor, digging into the politics of pushing for progress in a purple, Southern state.

On September 12th, join hosts Daniella Gibbs Léger and Ed Chung for the first episode of CAP Action’s new weekly news and politics podcast The Tent, where they’ll dive into the politics, policy, and progress shaping Washington.

This is a short teaser revealing that a new podcast from CAP Action is coming this fall.
