FRONT PORCH AF with Kelli & Sue

Kelli and Sue welcome Lauren Egan, political reporter at The Bulwark (our spirit animal), to discuss Democrats and Democracy, the high-stakes Tennessee District 7 special election between Aftyn Behn and mega-MAGA Matt Van Epps (who ended up winning), the effects of gerrymandering, and why national Democrats are still so nice, even in the face of Republican tactics that are, shall we say, often down in the gutter. (When Republicans go low, why don’t Democrats just go lower?) 

They also talk campaign strategy, cultural messaging, the role of social media and rising Democratic figures, the impact of the Epstein files, and Lauren’s reporting from Washington to Ukraine. 

Read, listen, and follow Lauren and more at The Bulwark.

And from the Department of Kelli & Sue Tomfoolery:  This episode’s Neighborhood Notes may have Kelli’s favorite so far—check it out!

Pull up a chair, grab a drink, and join us on our audio front porch for a terrific conversation and food for thought. Cheers, y’all!
