Dan Pfeiffer, one of President Obama’s senior advisors and a veteran of both his presidential campaigns, joins Forum to talk about his new memoir “Yes We (Still) Can.” Pfeiffer says he began working on the book the morning after the 2016 election to process his own complicated emotions and understand the forces that helped elect Donald Trump. We’ll talk to Pfeiffer about what he calls the radicalization of today’s Republican party, his prescription for Democrats and his experiences as co-host of “Pod Save America.”

Guests:
Dan Pfeiffer,
author, “Yes We (Still) Can: Politics in the Age of Obama, Twitter, and Trump”; former senior advisor to President Obama; co-host, Pod Save America
