About this episode

Jon Stewart highlights how the Democrats' divisiveness over Trump's budget bill is emblematic of their lack of vision, plummeting approval ratings, and continued losses against the MAGA cult.

Third-term Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut sits down with Jon Stewart to talk about the Democratic party’s path moving forward. He explains why he disagreed over the Dems’ decision not to filibuster the GOP budget, why his colleagues should be willing to take more risks, how misaligned priorities cost them voters to Trump, and the need to rally behind long-lasting ideas.
