Maggie leads a powerful conversation with former Republican Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen and former Wisconsin Democratic Party Chair Mike Tate about the Democracy Defense Project, an initiative working to strengthen trust in elections across key swing states. Both guests stress the importance of bipartisan cooperation in countering misinformation and assuring voters that mail-in ballots, drop boxes, and other secure voting methods remain safe and reliable. Maggie also takes on Donald Trump’s recent authoritarian-leaning rhetoric — from threats to deploy the military in blue cities to attacks on those defending democracy. The discussion highlights both the challenges and the urgency of safeguarding democratic values at a time of mounting political division.
