Sen. Chris Murphy on the Crisis Facing Our Democracy 281n

This week we’re bringing you an interview from our friends at the New Yorker Radio Hour. It's a conversation between host David Remnick and Democratic congressman Chris Murphy. Murphy is the junior senator from Connecticut and a vehement critic of leaders in his party who’ve taken a “business as usual” approach in dealing with the Trump istration. He opposed Chuck Schumer’s negotiation to the Republican budget and keep the government running and Murphy advocated for the democrats to skip the president’s t address to congress en masse. He believes that his party has a winning formula if they stick to a populist anti-big-money agenda and he despairs that some in his party aren’t responding appropriately to what he sees as a crisis.
