Gloria talks with Corbin Trent, the East Tennessee organizer behind Brand New Congress and Justice Democrats, who helped recruit and elect AOC before working as her first communications director.

They trace Corbin's path from food trucks in Morristown to the Bernie Sanders 2016 and 2020 campaigns to Capitol Hill, then dig into the state of the Democratic Party, disinformation and the "socialist/communist" label problem, healthcare and housing supply, immigration policy, and Corbin's current project, a super PAC called "A Fight Worth Having" aimed at building a team-based, cross-country progressive movement.
