Jamelle Bouie’s Advice for the Next President | #45should

“The United States needs a stronger labor movement. It needs something to organize workers as workers just for the sake of acting as a political counterbalance to corporations and to large formations of capital,” Slate’s Chief Political Correspondent Jamelle Bouie says in the video above. “I think a lot of our problems right now are directly traced back to the decline of unions.”

In the latest installment in a weekly series from Slate, 92Y, and New America, we hear from Bouie—a political analyst for CBS News who has written for The New Yorker, The Atlantic, The Washington Post, and others—as he offers his advice for the next U.S. president. Each Monday this election season, we’ll publish a short video in which a policy maker, writer, or thinker gives the next commander in chief their best ideas for how to handle the highest office in the land.

Above, Bouie also suggests a job that the president should do for a day—a job that employs many Americans, and that he says can be “a drag.”
