Rep. Eric Swalwell on Courage, Strategy, and What’s Next for the Democratic Party

Rep. Eric Swalwell joins us at the table to talk about fighting for democracy, standing up to MAGA extremism, and what it means to lead with courage in a divided Congress. From his unconventional path to public service to balancing fatherhood with being a top target of the right, Rep. Swalwell shares why the stakes have never been higher—and why Democrats must stop negotiating with themselves and start flexing their values. He leaves us with a reminder that leadership isn’t about comfort. It’s about courage, conviction, and showing up when it counts most.
