Election 2024: Primaries Update

The 2024 Presidential Primary season is underway, and Imara talks with two political journalists about the state of U.S. politics. First she’s joined by POLITICO’s Playbook writer and White House Correspondent, Eugene Daniels. He discusses why he refuses to sacrifice his personal style while working in D.C, what he saw in his reporting in South Carolina, and how President Joe Biden’s campaign is thinking about the reelection strategy. Next, Imara is joined by journalist Katelyn Burns to talk through the stakes of this election for trans people, and the declining demand for trans perspectives in journalism.
