“I think the changes that we need to make, both in terms of our domestic policy and foreign policy, are huge.”
In this ‘Mehdi Unfiltered’ interview, Mehdi Hasan sits down with Maryland senator Chris Van Hollen to discuss Israeli war crimes, the growing threat of AI, the future of the Democratic Party and his own 2028 presidential ambitions.
In the conversation, Van Hollen explains that he’s “kicking the tires” on a 2028 national campaign. Mehdi also presses the senator on his vote for a future Senate majority leader, one day after the Senate rejected Van Hollen’s resolution calling for a State Department report on the deaths of nine American citizens killed by Israeli forces and settlers.
They also discuss Biden’s handing of the Gaza genocide, Van Hollen’s age factoring into his consideration for a 2028 presidential bid, AI, Trump’s relation with Xi Jinping and more.
