“There is a broad middle in this country that is open to finding a new way.”

Former New Orleans Mayor and Biden White House senior adviser Mitch Landrieu joins Bakari Sellers for a conversation about the future of the Democratic Party, winning in the South and whether a 2028 presidential run could be in his future.

Landrieu talks about why Democrats need to invest in Southern communities, what he learned from growing up in one of Louisiana’s most recognizable political families and why he believes Americans are ready for something beyond the traditional left-versus-right divide.

Bakari and Landrieu get into Donald Trump, the challenge of balancing accountability with healing a divided country and what Democrats got right and wrong during the Biden administration. Landrieu also reflects on his years as mayor of New Orleans and why delivering results matters more than political philosophy.

They also discuss the future of artificial intelligence, the importance of regulation and making sure new technology creates opportunity for people who have historically been left behind.

And when Bakari presses him on a potential 2028 presidential run, Landrieu opens up about the decision he's weighing and what it would take to make that leap.
