She frequently appears on CNN, MSNOW, CBS, History, BBC, and PBS, and has been featured in and published by most major publications, including the New Yorker, the New York Times, and the Washington Post. She is a frequent guest on NPR and hosted the podcasts No Man's Land and Presidents Are People Too! Her next book, Young Jack: A Biography of John F. Kennedy, 1917-1957, will be published next year. Alexis and I discuss Trump's initial 14 months, his continued autocratic overreach and its impact on our democracy, and whether Democrats can and will capitalize on the opportunity Trump and Republicans are handing them for the November midterms.
