Joining Levy is Aaron Kleinman, director of research for The States Project, who breaks down the importance of getting Democrats elected in crucial state elections.
“I think the states with competitive state legislative elections where either control of a chamber or a supermajority threshold is up, really overlaps a lot with the traditional presidential battle grounds,” Kleinman says. “We’re talking about states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota, where in 2022 we were able to help win majorities that have been really passing a lot of great bills.”

Wisconsin, Kleinman adds, is another one to keep an eye on after the state Supreme Court recently ruled that their old maps were unconstitutional.
Then, investigative reporter at Wisconsin Watch and ProPublica, Phoebe Petrovic, joins the show to talk about her latest article, “The Gospel of Matthew Trewhella: How a Militant Anti-Abortion Activist Is Influencing Republican Politics.”
