ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Amanda Litman is the host of "Battleground," another podcast from The Recount, as well as the co-founder and co-executive director of Run For Something, an organization that helps recruit and support young diverse progressives to run for local and state offices. Amanda joins Jennifer on the show to talk about how young people are wildly under-represented in politics, despite their intimacy with some of the most American issues like childcare, home rental, and reproductive health; why there are no off years when you're trying to rebuild democracy; and what to make of the media coverage of Vice President Kamala Harris. Plus, Amanda explains how she went from professing she'd never get married, to gearing up for her wedding later this month.
