Description

Senator Elissa Slotkin joins The People’s Cabinet to reflect on political violence, the rising cost of living, and why we might be barreling toward a government shutdown.

Senator Slotkin talks to Dan Koh about:

  • Her reaction to the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk
  • How shrinking access to health care and cuts to Medicaid threaten families in Michigan and beyond
  • Why economic security is the defining issue of our time – and why Democrats must center it to win back trust
  • The danger of Trump’s fear-based politics in the Senate
