Sarah Longwell: How to Eat an Elephant

Sarah Longwell — CEO and publisher of The Bulwark, and one of the central figures of the anti-MAGA movement — joins Jonathan V. Last to discuss her new book How to Eat an Elephant: One Voter at a Time.

After Trump won the 2024 election, Longwell did what she's done nearly every week for eight years: sat down with voters. Hundreds of focus groups, thousands of ordinary Americans — Republicans, Democrats, and independents — all in pursuit of understanding politics through the eyes of the people who will decide the country's future. In How to Eat an Elephant, she lays out a playbook for building a coalition bold enough to defeat authoritarian populism for good: equal parts pep talk and game plan.

In person ($50+) and streaming ($25+). Pre-signed copies of the book available at the event.
