Michael B, Moore Fights MAGA in SC/Project 2025

In this interview on the Lean to the Left podcast, Michael B. Moore, the Democratic candidate running against Republican Representative Nancy Mace in South Carolina's 1st Congressional District, discusses his campaign, background, and key priorities.  Moore stresses that while Biden has done an extraordinary job, the focus needs to shift to key issues, such as health care, reproductive rights, and the environment, rather than the 81-year-old Biden's potential health concerns. He suggests that the Democratic party would benefit from new leadership while still leveraging Biden's coalition, knowledge, and experience. Moore delves into his business-oriented approach, healthcare reform, economic inclusivity, women's reproductive rights, environmental concerns, and critical views on Mace's inconsistent stance on various issues. He also addresses the broader implications of the upcoming election, the urgent need for Democratic mobilization, and his perspective on President Biden's potential re-election.  The interview was recorded just a few days before the assassination attempt on Donald Trump in Butler, PA. 00:00 Introduction to the 2024 Congressional Race 01:14 Meet Michael B.
