## Caption

Can Democrats finally catch up in the new media era? Peter Hamby sits down with progressive creator and author @briantylercohen to discuss how Donald Trump reshaped political media, why Democrats struggled to build a creator ecosystem, and whether figures like AOC, Pete Buttigieg, Gavin Newsom, and Zohran Mamdani are adapting to the changing landscape. They also dive into the growing influence of political content creators, campaign partnerships, the future of the FCC under Brendan Carr, and Brian's new book, The Day After: How to Wield Power in a Post-Trump World.
