Scott Shafer and Marisa Lagos sit down with U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm to talk about her role selling President Biden's infrastructure and jobs bills -- including how she's working to convince skeptical Americans that clean energy jobs will benefit them. The former UC Berkeley professor and Michigan governor also reflects on how she approached governing in a purple state, and the challenges -- and opportunities -- she and her husband faced after Granholm ran for office and he put aside his own political aspirations.

The Duel of Democrats: California Politics Podcast
No political party can be completely homogenous, and so differences inside California's dominant partisan ranks shouldn't come as a surprise. But in some races, those differences seem more like a bitter street brawl.
On this week's podcast, we sift through the election returns and political lessons in Tuesday's tense state Senate special election in the East Bay. We also take an early look at the Kamala Harris-Loretta Sanchez duel in the 2016 race for the U.S. Senate.
As always, I'm joined by Marisa Lagos of KQED News and Anthony York of the Grizzly Bear Project.
