Jaime Harrison is a failed Senate candidate that went on to oversee the DNC during the '24 election, when Democrats lost the presidency and both houses of Congress. He would very much like progressives to stop winning primaries, because losing general elections is his bread and butter.

I usually stay away from interviews with Republicans because they've been repeating the same lies my entire life and at this point it just makes my blood boil to hear them out loud, but Hassett is always good for a laugh.
BREAM: The Journal says percentage of delinquent credit card balances is 13%, the highest in 15 years. People are using them for necessities. Your message to them? HASSETT: We talk to CEOs of the credit card companies all the time, and there's not any threat to them. People are taking a bit longer.
