What is the ‘new American Tea Party?’ And where is it headed?

The World

A few weeks ago, a poll from our partner, The New York Times, gave us a closer look at who, exactly, makes up the Tea Party. The biggest demographic is older, white, educated, Republican men. But there are still major aspects of the movement that are less clear. Is anyone actually leading it? Where is it headed?

To help answer those questions we’re joined by John O’Hara, author of the new book “A New American Tea Party: The Counterrevolution Against Bailouts, Handouts, Reckless Spending, and More Taxes.”
