Bernie is the Most Popular Elected Official

Faiz Shakir

On this episode of Agitation Nation, host David Fenton speaks with Faiz Shakir — Bernie Sanders' 2020 campaign manager and founder of More Perfect Union — in a 2026 midterms special. Shakir walks the Senate map race by race, from Roy Cooper in North Carolina to Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, where AIPAC's largest single-race investment ever failed to stop him. He explains why money has stopped deciding outcomes, what Kamala Harris's own advisers told him went wrong, what every town should demand before a data center is built, and how the DSA is reshaping the Democratic Party.
