Chloe Akers: Bringing politics back to the middle
U.S. politics have gotten more polarized, and more extreme. Today, Tennessee attorney Chloe Akers has a new plan to do something that can feel nearly impossible: elevate the voices in the middle. She tells Niala Boodhoo: "We're not using any other playbook to solve what we believe is the pervasiveness of extremism and how damaging that can be on the democratic process. We are creating a playbook." One Tennessean's new solution to an old problem. Plus, what being a moderate today really means, and a reality check on other efforts to bring people back to the middle. Guests: Chloe Akers, founder and CEO of "The Best of Tennessee"; Axios senior contributor Margaret Talev Credits: 1 big thing is produced by Niala Boodhoo, Alexandra Botti, Fonda Mwangi and Alex Sugiura. Music is composed by Alex Sugiura. You can reach us at podcasts@axios.com. You can send questions, comments and story ideas as a text or voice memo to Niala at 202-918-4893.
