‘Accountability Is Not Revenge’: Steve Schmidt on Where We Go From Here
The midterms are over, and the country has spoken. So what does this moment really mean, and where do we go from here?
Maria turned to her friend of two decades, Steve Schmidt—founder of The Warning, co-founder of the Save America movement, and veteran political strategist—to make sense of what voters said on November 3rd and what it means for Democrats, for Republicans, and for all of us.
In this special live edition of Architects of Change, Maria and Steve explore why he believes Trump will grow more dangerous as a lame duck, the difference between accountability and revenge, what Democrats should do first with their new power, and why Americans have far more in common than we’ve been told.
Coming This Week
Thursday, November 12, we’re launching the official first episode of Architects of Change with Maria featuring Dr. Laura Berman and Jennifer Leiy.
Laura and Jennifer are two women who have lived through unimaginable loss and are learning to carry it with honesty and grace. Their conversation is tender and surprisingly practical. You'll hear why grief often feels like a spiral and not a straight line, why some friends rush in while others disappear, and what it really means to show up for someone who’s hurting.
Sometimes, Jennifer says, it’s as simple as this: “Just show up and say, ‘I love you. I’m here.’”
This is a conversation you’ll want to hear, and one you’ll want to share. Join us Thursday for the very first episode.
