Right mind—what does the Republican party stand for?

Our weekly podcast on democracy in America

Listen to this podcast

NORMALLY A political party goes through a reckoning after a defeat. But, a year later, there’s been no post-mortem of the 2020 election for Republicans. Instead the GOP remains loyal to the man who many refuse to accept lost the presidency. What does the Republican party stand for beyond Trumpism?

Jon Fasman reports from a gathering of social conservatives. We find out how a radical anti-capitalist philosopher is inspiring the modern GOP. And pollster Kristen Soltis Anderson explains what drives rank and file Republicans to the polls.

John Prideaux hosts with Charlotte Howard. Runtime 41 min
