Hawaii Democratic Party Chair Tim Vandeveer was elected to his post as supporters of Bernie Sanders swamped Hillary Clinton backers at the state party convention in May 2016.

Vandeveer joins Pod Squad host Chad Blair to talk national and state politics — including whether there might be a primary race for governor next year.
