One of the hottest conversations in politics, especially for Democrats, is what the heck is happening with young voters, who shifted dramatically toward Trump in 2024. Obama and Biden campaign veteran Amanda Litman has been working with younger voters and candidates for years with her breakthrough organization Run for Something. Now, she says there's a deeper problem in America that's become ingrained in how we work, live, and even how we run political campaigns. In her new book "When We're in Charge: The Next Generation’s Guide to Leadership" takes a look at how younger leaders can break through and change some of the most broken aspects of working and living in the U.S. Host Matt Robison of the Worth Knowing Substack (https://worthknowing.substack.com/) and Amanda talk about burnout, taking back America from Trump from the bottom up, and what the next ten years will look like as the next generation starts to take over.
