Live From DC: Turning Middle-Out Economics into Good Politics
Timid tweaks won’t fix a broken economy. From Nick Hanauer’s blunt critique of Democratic incrementalism to a candid conversation with Representatives Ro Khanna, Delia Ramirez, and Jim Himes on how Democrats can reclaim working-class trust by embracing economic populism and fighting for real change, this episode brings you inside the 2025 Middle Out Economics conference, where the message was clear: Go big or get out of the way.
Moderator: Harold Meyerson, The American Prospect
Rep. Jim Himes, 4th congressional district, Connecticut
Rep. Ro Khanna, 17th congressional district, California
Rep. Delia Ramirez, 3rd congressional district, Illinois
