Strategy Session: CBS Plot Midterm Strategy With Liberal Obama Podcasts Hosts

[See NewsBusters for more.] The co-hosts of CBS This Morning on Tuesday plotted strategy for the Democrats in the 2018 midterms, talking to the liberal co-hosts of the podcast Pod Save America, Jon Favreau and Dan Pfeiffer. Together, they wanted to know just what Democrats could do to take the House and the Senate. This Morning co-host John Dickerson asked, “To the extent that Democrats can have a message, what should it be in the last two months?” Pfeiffer and Favreau are both top Obama operatives and the podcast has been given a helpful assist by HBO. The liberal cable channel is hosting four episodes of the show leading up to the midterms. Pfeiffer hammered partisan talking points: “If Republicans keep power, they will take away people’s health care and cut Medicare to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. We have to say that at every single opportunity.”
