I would love to know who everyone especially admires! Dems in any level of government, can be active or retired, but must be living. Who are you having dinner with? I chose:
Coach Walz Elizabeth Warren Hillary Clinton (My fourth choice would have been either AOC or Pete)

-Elizabeth Warren (I've interviewed her and she 100% as awesome as she seems) -Beto (I'm not a huge Beto fan per se, but I've also interviewed him for a podcast and he's just so so so fun to talk to so he'd be a great dinner guest)
@@@ -Tammy Duckworth (She just seems really cool and I feel like we could talk about our kids a lot, lol)

I'm having a hard time narrowing it down. But I think my top 3 would be:
1. Joe Biden 2. Elizabeth Warren 3. AOC
HOWEVER...
If I'm being honest, it's actually:
1. Michelle Obama 2. Jill Biden 3. Doug Emhoff
I would've chosen Tim Walz and/or Peggy Flanagan, but I know enough people who know them both that it's a theoretical possibility that could actually happen at some point.
I actually have met Barack Obama, years ago as a political reporter in Chicago. It was as amazing as you would expect, even then, and he is the only person I told an editor I wasn't entirely sure I could be objective about in more than a decade as a journalist. Liberal media! I've also met George Bush Jr and did not have that issue. 😂
Obama (past) Pete (future) A 1-term Dem senator from my rinky dink home state who I really, really hope gets a cabinet post in the Department of Ag under a Harris/Walz presidency (present - fingers crossed)

I just need to become a senator lol. I want to hang out with a bunch of people. I’m wayyyy more interested in hanging with politicians and people doing great work in the domestic and international community than I am in celebrities.
