A new third party may make sense as a home for anti-Trump Republicans, but why would moderate Democrats join? Forward co-founder and former New Jersey GOP Gov. Christine Todd Whitman insists that many top Democrats have already joined.
“Can you name one?” @mehdirhasan asks.

New polls suggest there's an appetite for another party. And a third party formed by a former governor, a 2020 candidate and an ex-congressman aims to break into the mold.
But just because voters want a new choice doesn’t mean Forward is the the right one, @mehdirhasan says:

America’s 1% continues to profit from decades of legal tax loopholes that are out of reach for the average citizen.

Most voters want another choice besides Democrat and Republican. The new “Forward Party” aims to give them that option – but can it live up to its promise?
Co-founder and former NJ Gov. Christine Todd Whitman joins @mehdirhasan to answer that Q — watch on @MSNBConPeacock.

“What this election should be this fall is: Democracy or dictatorship?” @BeschlossDC tells @mehdirhasan:
“One of the parties wants to protect your democracy. Another of the parties is, at best, indifferent or, perhaps, even wants to undermine it.”

Election deniers who believe the lie that Trump won are on several state ballots in November, seeking positions that will oversee future races and lay the groundwork for 2024.
"More evidence that democracy is on the ballot," @mehdirhasan says, "possibly for the last time."

New polls are giving Dems hope in the midterms.
“The combined force of eviscerating women’s right to privacy in Roe and what the [1/6] committee has brought to the public…has provided a momentum," @RachelBitecofer says. "Now, it’s about what we do to tap in and enhance it.”

Sunday marks 100 days until what are, quite possibly, the most important midterm elections of our lifetimes, @mehdirhasan says.
And while history suggests that Democrats are in for a shellacking, the true picture is a little more complicated — and maybe not so bleak:
