The string of Democratic losses in state and national elections has provoked an intense debate about how the Democratic Party can revive its connections with voters. Should Democrats focus on reconnecting with rural and white voters? Or, should they concentrate on energizing their base in urban areas? Or, is there some hybrid strategy that is feasible? Minnesota member of Congress and Deputy Chair of the Democratic National Committee, Keith Ellison joins in a lively conversation with Professor Larry Jacobs and Capitol Reporter Rachel Stassen-Berger.
