Encore Presentation: The Evangelical Movement that Failed a Generation with Jon Ward

The 2024 Presidential Election and the greatest test of the American Experiment of our lifetimes is upon us. In 2020, the Lincoln Project sparked a nationwide movement to restore our democracy and to defeat Trump and Trumpism. We beat him once and we fight every day to defeat him and the dark anti-democratic forces and seditionists surrounding him once again. This podcast features leading political experts and guests on the front line of that fight, discusses the greatest political challenges of our day, and explains how all Americans can be part of our pro-democracy movement.
