The two discuss the special election to replace HHS Secretary Tom Price in Georgia’s sixth congressional district. They also discuss an upcoming election in the state of Montana, and why it’s not an impossible lift for Democrats.

Second, Cliff is joined by John Aravosis, who works in Washington, DC as an expert in digital engagement and social mobilization, with a specialty in high-profile political advocacy campaigns, and as the editor and founder of AMERICAblog, one of the US' oldest and most influential progressive political blogs.
