In this 2018 conversation, Michael sits down with journalist Salena Zito to discuss "The Great Revolt: Inside the Populist Coalition Reshaping American Politics", her bestselling book exploring the voters who propelled Donald Trump to the White House. Zito explains the seven voter archetypes she identified across key Rust Belt states, why so many political analysts misunderstood Trump's coalition, and what the 2016 election revealed about populism, localism, and the growing disconnect between America's political class and its voters. Recorded during Trump's first term, this conversation offers a fascinating snapshot of the political landscape at that pivotal moment. Original air date 9 May 2018. The book was published on 8 May 2018.
