Show notes

In an exclusive sit down with Rooted, Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley breaks down the Democratic Party’s 2024 election autopsy and what it reveals about shifting Black voter support, economic frustration, and messaging failures. She challenges the idea that identity politics is to blame, arguing that issues like reproductive rights and racial equity are fundamentally economic, while highlighting voter turnout gaps, misinformation, and growing distrust within the party’s base. The conversation also explores the political impact of the Gaza crisis, Supreme Court decisions, and calls for court reform and eliminating dark money—raising urgent questions about whether Democrats can reconnect with voters and deliver meaningful change.Subscribe to the Rooted YouTube channel:    •GBH News Rooted  Follow Rooted on InstagramListen to Rooted on SpotifyFollow Rooted on ThreadsFollow Rooted on TikTokSubscribe to the Rooted newsletter Support GBH and help shape a future where facts matter, stories unite us, and everyone has access to quality media.
