In his new book, “Why We’re Polarized”, Vox founder and editor-at-large Ezra Klein delves into the historical reasons that America’s political landscape has become increasingly divided over the past 50 years.

Klein joins Forum to talk about his book, and how COVID-19 is affecting politics and the November election.
