Amy Klobuchar: The Deliberation

In this follow-up to Senator Klobuchar’s interview, the board disagrees with each other about her pitch of stable bipartisanship as the best way to enact progressive policies. The board does agree, however, that the Minnesota senator is a consummate retail-politician and a savvy "creature of D.C." Then, a deeper conversation with board member Brent Staples about the Midwestern appeal in a bombastic political era, and how it could win in 2020. Brent discusses Klobuchar’s potential path to popularity, her campaign’s melody and subtracting a gender quotient when a woman is known as a tough boss. Find the unabridged and annotated transcript of Klobuchar's visit to the board at nytimes.com/thechoice. Produced by At Will Media.
