Philosopher Michael Sandel on What Trump’s Win Says About American Society

Season 2024 Episode 7100 | 17m 42s

To make sense of the election, we must first understand the discontent that gave Donald Trump the victory. This is the theory of Harvard professor and political philosopher Michael Sandel. He joins the show to discuss the polarization that fueled Trump's campaign, and the failure of the Democrats to present themselves as the party of change.
