665: Can Democrats Win Back Religious Voters? with Senator Kirsten Gillibrand

Apr 16, 2025 · 1h 29m

It's Holy Week, and an article in the New York Times argues that Palm Sunday wasn't a worship procession; it was a protest march. With that theme in mind, Christians held peaceful rallies over the weekend in Philadelphia and San Diego to protest inhumane immigration enforcement policies, including the order allowing government agents into churches during worship gatherings to arrest people. Skye talks to Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) about how her faith informs her politics, what lessons the Democrats have learned from their losses in 2024, and why more religious Americans view her party's brand as "toxic." Phil, Skye, and Kaitlyn then debrief the interview and discuss whether the Democrats' struggle is just messaging or something deeper. Also this week: the problem with purple.
