Joining us this week to discuss the field of likely Democratic Party primary candidates for 2020 is Branko Marcetic, Prince Slayer and staff writer at Jacobin Magazine. We discuss his recent piece which argues that Beto O’Rourke is not the savior we’ve been looking for, and then move to a discussion of other names that have been floated in the past few weeks.   

Check out Branko’s piece here:
