Summary

Evan Barker went from fundraising for progressive candidates like Cori Bush and Ilhan Omar to casting her ballot for President Trump, all in a matter of six years. Her new book, "Nothing Left," details her transition from being a Democrat interning for then-candidate Obama in 2007 over the issue of healthcare to feeling ostracized from the party. She discusses her experience and the battle between the establishment and progressive factions of the Democratic Party.
