In the latest episode of the Forward Podcast, Forward Party Founder Andrew Yang sits down with Rikki Schlott to discuss the many variables at play that have shifted the US presidential landscape going into Election Day.

If Democrats lose, will the party look inward? Will Trump's behavior on and off the stump cost him the election? Are independent voters motivated to vote with the candidates the two parties have given them?

And, will broad election and political change be the biggest story ignored by the national media in an election cycle that has solely been defined by a democratic process in chaos and crisis? Here is the episode's description:

"Andrew and Rikki Schlott dive into the chaos of American politics, discussing everything from the 2024 election to explosive shifts in voter sentiment and the rise of independents. Are Democrats losing their grip on young voters? Could open primaries change the game? With eye-opening insights on the future of democracy and power struggles within both parties, this conversation is a must-watch for anyone interested in where U.S. politics is headed next."

Check out the full conversation above.
