Happy Hour with Rep. Maxwell Frost
What's it like to be the youngest person in Congress? Michael and Anna sit down with 28-year-old Florida Democrat, Maxwell Frost, to find out. Rep. Frost is a master of messaging, but that's because (unlike some of his colleagues) he doesn't force it. So what does the future of the Democratic party look like?
