Stephen Heintz, president and CEO of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund joins Phil Buchanan and Grace Nicolette to discuss the results of the 2024 presidential election, whether there is merit to the argument of journalist Ezra Klein and others that certain nonprofit organizations are having an outsize impact on the Democratic party, the role of nonprofits in a functioning democracy, and what it will take to rebuild trust across ideological divides.
