Is former New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu considering a run for president in 2028?
Landrieu joins Bakari Sellers to discuss his political future, what Democrats need to do differently to compete in the South and why he believes Americans are ready to move beyond the traditional left-versus-right political divide.
As the former mayor of New Orleans and a senior adviser in the Biden White House, Landrieu brings experience in local government, national politics and implementing the Biden administration's infrastructure agenda.
Bakari and Landrieu discuss the importance of building political coalitions, reaching voters in traditionally Republican communities and why Democrats can't afford to abandon the South.
They also get into Donald Trump's presidency, the balance between political accountability and national healing, and Landrieu's assessment of Joe Biden's time in office. Landrieu discusses the administration's infrastructure achievements while acknowledging mistakes involving Afghanistan, immigration and crime.
The conversation turns to artificial intelligence, where Landrieu shares a personal story from Hurricane Katrina to explain why public trust, regulation and economic opportunity matter as new technologies reshape the country.
And Bakari presses Landrieu on the question surrounding his political future: Will he run for president in 2028?
Landrieu explains what he's considering, the role his family will play in that decision and why he believes the country has an opportunity to find a new direction.
