Mary and Wajahat Ali examine the backlash surrounding Hakeem Jeffries’ private meeting with Jared Kushner as critics raise new questions about Democratic leadership, MAGA accountability, the party’s progressive wing, and who Democrats should be fighting for ahead of the midterms. Wajahat Ali is a writer, recovering attorney, author, and tired dad of 3 kids who now drives a Honda Odyssey Minivan and shops at Costco. Wajahat edits The Left Hook Substack and co-hosts The Democracy-Ish podcast with Danielle Moodie.
