Episode description

Batya Ungar-Sargon is the author of the new book entitled Second Class: How the Elites Betrayed America’s Working Men and Women. I am going to ask Batya to focus her comments on why Trump appeals to Working Class Americans.

Corey Fields is a Professor of Sociology at Georgetown and the author of a book entitled Black Elephants in the Room: The Unexpected Politics of African American Republicans. I want Corey to explain why the Republicans have historically been unsuccessful in attracting Black people and if it will be different in the upcoming presidential election.
