In a special one-hour live stream, we bring back many of our guests from
last year’s election day show to discuss what’s changed, what’s stayed
the same, and what we still hope to see happen under Obama.

Elections around the country of course saw nowhere near the turnout of
the presidential race, yet the corporate media still insists on
considering races in Virginia and New Jersey referenda on Obama. What do
the results really mean? And what’s going on in the Obama
administration? We’ll talk to Katrina vanden Heuvel and Chris Hayes of
The Nation, Jehmu Greene of the Women’s Media Center, James
Rucker of Color Of Change, Danny Schechter of News Dissector, Jane
Hamsher of FireDogLake, Mark Green of Air America, Esther Armah of WBAI,
and special guests from the Maine Equality movement and elsewhere.

Can we count on you?

In the coming election, the fate of our democracy and fundamental civil rights are on the ballot. The conservative architects of Project 2025 are scheming to institutionalize Donald Trump’s authoritarian vision across all levels of government if he should win.

We’ve already seen events that fill us with both dread and cautious optimism—throughout it all, The Nation has been a bulwark against misinformation and an advocate for bold, principled perspectives. Our dedicated writers have sat down with Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders for interviews, unpacked the shallow right-wing populist appeals of J.D. Vance, and debated the pathway for a Democratic victory in November.

Stories like these and the one you just read are vital at this critical juncture in our country’s history. Now more than ever, we need clear-eyed and deeply reported independent journalism to make sense of the headlines and sort fact from fiction. Donate today and join our 160-year legacy of speaking truth to power and uplifting the voices of grassroots advocates.

Throughout 2024 and what is likely the defining election of our lifetimes, we need your support to continue publishing the insightful journalism you rely on.

Thank you,
The Editors of The Nation
