American Progress: Policy, Power & The People | Neera Tanden (CAP President & CEO)
What does real American progress look like today?
Ken Biberaj sits down with Neera Tanden, CEO of the Center for American Progress and former senior advisor to three U.S. presidents, for a candid conversation about policy, power, and the people public service is meant to serve.
From helping pass the Affordable Care Act to shaping landmark legislation like the Inflation Reduction Act, CHIPS and Science Act, and bipartisan infrastructure law, Neera reflects on what it actually takes to turn big ideas into real change — and why lowering the cost of living, expanding access to healthcare, and fixing America’s housing crisis remain urgent national priorities.
The conversation also explores the realities of governing, the challenges of modern political communication, the rise of AI and energy demand, and what the 2026 midterms may signal about voter frustration and economic anxiety.
If you’re curious about how policy gets made — and how it impacts everyday lives — this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
