## Resource

Michael welcomes political analyst Mark Halperin for a wide-ranging conversation on what New York's latest election results reveal about the future of the Democratic Party. From the growing influence of progressive candidates to the prospects of a Bernie Sanders comeback in 2028, Halperin argues that Democrats are heading toward a defining showdown between the party establishment and its energized left wing. They discuss the political impact of Israel-related debates, the next generation of Democratic leadership, and why the road to 2028 may already be taking shape. Original air date 24 June 2026.
