  • Robert Reich Is Nauseously Optimistic About The Midterms

    Robert Reich Is Nauseously Optimistic About The Midterms
    Oct 30 2026
    The midterm elections are just days away, and despite populist candidates surging in popularity across the country, corporate Democrats continue to insist that “Romney Republicans” are the key swing voters Democrats need to court, not the working class. Could they be correct? Or next week, will voters prove yet again that corporate Democrats are out of step with average Americans, and that their days leading the Party are numbered? Today on Lever Time, David Sirota sits down with former U.S. Secretary of Labor Robert Reich to discuss how corporatization of the Democratic Party is on the ballot this year, why this could be the “last gasp election” for corporate Democrats, and which races next week will reveal the answers.

  • Angie Nixon’s Battle Cry Against Corporate Power

    Angie Nixon’s Battle Cry Against Corporate Power
    Oct 23 2026
    Last month, U.S. Senate candidate Angie Nixon, a member of the Working Families Party and Democratic Socialists of America, spoke at the nation’s largest annual conference of Black political power and called out one of the event’s corporate sponsors. Lever columnist Morgan Harper attended the conference and noticed that Nixon was not alone — after years of quietly accepting corporate cash, some Black leaders are starting to push back against its influence. But will that shift in rhetoric help Democrats win at the polls, especially in a deep-red state like Florida, where millions are being spent to defeat Nixon? Today on Lever Time, Morgan Harper sits down with Florida state Rep. Nixon (D) to discuss why she’s refusing corporate PAC money in her campaign against Sen. Ashley Moody (R-Fla.), Gov. Ron DeSantis’ hand-picked appointee; why she believes challenging corporations and billionaires is essential to building more political power for Black voters; and why she’s confident that working-class voters in Florida are ready for democratic socialism.

  • Tim Walz Warns That Democrats Can Win And Still Lose

    Tim Walz Warns That Democrats Can Win And Still Lose
    Oct 16 2026
    With the midterms less than a month away, some pundits and polls suggest Democrats have the election in the bag. But is that really true? David Sirota travels to Minnesota to speak with someone who knows the danger of election complacency and overconfidence: Democratic Gov. Tim Walz. Today on Lever Time, we’re airing David Sirota’s full conversation with Walz. They discuss the choices that led to a 2024 presidential defeat for the Democrats, from the party’s stance on the genocide in Gaza to Kamala Harris’s decision to campaign with Republican Liz Cheney. Ahead of the 2026 midterms, what can we learn from his experience? Does Walz believe the Democrats stand a chance? And what happens if the Democrats win and fail to deliver on their promises?
