As Rahm Emanuel weighs a run for President, he talks with me about his Jewish faith, his family's story, and Israel policy - at a time of rising antisemitism across the political spectrum and deep divisions in the Democratic Party.

NEW: As a former prosecutor, Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto brings a unique perspective on immigration and law enforcement.
In this episode, she tells me about her family’s immigration story, and what she thinks 2028 Democratic presidential hopefuls should understand.

The first episode of ‘What It Takes’ is out now: my conversation with NJ Gov. Mikie Sherrill, who flipped five Trump counties last year.
We talked about what Dems are getting wrong - and her thoughts, as a Navy veteran, on Pete Hegseth.

When Eileen Higgins was in her 40s, she had a moment of existential reflection that changed everything - launching her out of her corporate career and into the Peace Corps.
And eventually, to mayor of Miami.
Really excited to share our conversation:

There’s an important test tomorrow at my son’s school and my moms thread today is basically just all the boy moms mining all the girl moms for any information about what’s actually going on and what time we need to be where - because none of the boys actually know!! 😅
Our first episode is out!
I asked New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill:
-how she won over voters in Trump counties
-about being the only woman on an aircraft carrier (and what her mom said!)
-how being a mom shapes her politics

Read @sarahmccammon.bsky.social's The Exvangelicals, and was struck by two things:
1) An awful lot of them are fans of C.S. Lewis, which is odd, given that Lewis's staunch support of inclusivism is directly opposed to the core of US white evangelical theology
