She’s a former GOP Communications Director on Capitol Hill and most recently served as a Senior Advisor for The Lincoln Project. She’s a political writer and commentator who’s appeared on MSNOW, CNN and other news outlets, The View, and Real Time with Bill Maher. Her writing has been featured on CNN.com, Bloomberg, The Daily Beast, Cosmopolitan, and NBC.com. In November 2020 she left the Republican Party after Donald Trump refused to concede the election to Joe Biden. Tara is sounding the alarm on the upcoming November midterms, fearing that from Trump to Congress to state and local officials the Republican Party is going to do everything humanly possible to steal the election. Don't miss this important conversation on Trump's corruption and self-dealing, his worsening batshit cray-cray behavior, and how voters can stay informed, engaged and focused on flipping Congress.
