It’s T-minus 72 hours until the midterms, and as we hurtle through these last days of celebrity door-knocking and vile TV ads (and Beto texts. So many Beto texts), we bring you a new interview in our “Now We’re Talking” series—this time with the man who’s overseen his party’s strategy for these very elections: Tom Perez, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee. These are pressing times for Perez: When he’s not being forced to react to Trump’s latest tweet-bomb, he’s having to negotiate the divisions within his own ranks, all while trying to carve out a viable future for his party. As Democrats wait for good returns this Tuesday, will they think he’s done enough? The indefatigable Wil Hylton talked to Perez about whether Trump is a racist, whether the party should support senators who voted for Brett Kavanaugh—and why the DNC decided to allow fossil fuel execs to donate to the party. It’s illuminating, if not in all the ways you’d expect. Happy reading, P.S. While you're here, enjoy some more weekend reading:
