Sanders “Broke the Spell” of Neoliberalism as Trump Pushes Coronavirus Capitalism

Democracy Now! talks to journalist and activist Naomi Klein about Bernie Sanders’s historic presidential campaign as he suspends his bid for the 2020 Democratic nomination, and about coronavirus capitalism — President Trump’s response to the pandemic.

Sanders “opened up the neoliberalism window of what was possible politically in this country,” says Klein, a senior correspondent at The Intercept, Rutgers University professor and longtime Sanders supporter.
