BDBB – An interview with Will Marshall

on by Michael Brodkorb Share

On this bonus episode of The Break Down with Brodkorb and Becky, Michael Brodkorb and Becky Scherr talk with Will Marshall, president and founder of the Progressive Policy Institute (PPI).

The PPI connects ideas and political action and maintains close relationships with New Democrats in Congress, as well as leading governors and a host of dynamic mayors and metro leaders.

Michael and Becky break down two recent op-eds Will authored in The Hill. First, “Why working families aren’t sold on Bidenomics” and “Democrats need a post-populist economics“ and get into his – and the Institute’s – stance regarding tech issues and policy.

We will then break down the dynamics of the 2024 cycle, and Will’s take on what a winning message looks like for working families.

The Break Down with Brodkorb and Becky will return with a new episode later this week.
