A secret meeting in New York, a stunning upset in Florida—the Democratic Civil War is here, and neither side is backing down.

In this episode of Fearless Politics, Dr. Avis examines Hakeem Jeffries' secret meeting with Jared Kushner and connects it to Angie Nixon's shocking primary win for the Florida Democratic Senate nomination, arguing both moments reveal the same widening fracture inside the Democratic Party.

Drawing on Jeffries' two public explanations and Jared Kushner's financial and political record since 2017, Dr. Avis lays out why this meeting struck a nerve — and sets it against the Republicans' own closed-door strategy session in the earliest days of the Obama presidency, the one that produced Mitch McConnell's vow to make him a one-term president.

She walks through how Nixon pulled off her overwhelming primary win, a self-imposed misstep in its aftermath, and what both stories mean for a party now openly at war with itself.

With her signature fearless commentary, Dr. Avis makes the case that this civil war isn't a distraction from November — it's the whole ballgame.
