Morning Wire · Leftist Campaigner Turned Trump Voter · 9 Aug 2026 podcast

I started to see over time, I thought that it was the democratic establishment that was out of touch, but the progressives were even more out of touch.

Um, so I actually got started in politics back in 2008.

I was only a senior in high school, and you know, I have a pre-existing genetic lung disease similar to cystic fibrosis.

So healthcare access back then, you know, it could be a real problem for people like me.

And so I started working for Barack Obama.

I also grew up in a, you know, Midwestern uh

Democratic Union family.

And so a lot of my relatives back then, you know, just they supported Democrats.

You know, nowadays most of them have drifted over to the right, actually.

But, you know, so that's kind of how I got started.

And then after college, Donald Trump was elected to be president of the United States.

And so I was kind of reactivated by his pre by his.

Presidency.

And so I ended up working on some establishment races on the East Coast, kind of got disillusioned with the Democratic establishment as well.

Um, they just didn't seem to really stand for much other than opposing Donald Trump.

Uh, they kind of talked about abortion a lot and just sort of like resisting.

And that at that time, you know, that wasn't really.

What was speaking to me.

And so I ended up moving back to Kansas back home.

And I ended up finding a progressive labor lawyer there who was endorsed by Bernie and AOC.
