Beyond the Whiteboard w/ Katie Porter
Katie Porter joins Tristan to break down Trump’s economic mess and what Democrats need to do differently to win in 2026. As markets experience their worst April since the Depression, Porter explains how Trump’s tariffs are driving up housing costs by 20% and pushing America toward stagflation. Drawing from her experience flipping a long-held Republican district, Porter wants Democrats to deliver stronger economic messengers by focusing on kitchen-table issues like housing and childcare costs. The conversation explores how Democrats can lead resistance to harmful federal policies, why state-level action matters when Washington fails, and how to directly addressing the economic struggles of younger voters.
