David Axelrod Evaluates Obama’s Handling of Racial Issues, Inner City Problems

Genevieve Wood / May 28, 2015

In my first two interviews with former Obama senior advisor David Axelrod, we talked about the growing divide among “Red” and “Blue” America and his predictions for the types of candidates and policy issues most likely to shape the 2016 presidential election.

Now, in our final segment, we discuss the impact of racial tensions in places like Ferguson and Baltimore, and why the issue of race and the state of America’s inner cities hasn’t improved more, even under the country’s first African-American president.
