seema mehta, when did she decide and why?eema: people leave she has wanted to run for president a long time. it became clear this is something she was setting her sights on. i think there was a huge democratic field, after trump was elected you had people , saying you need this much experience, but when president trump was elected, people said you don't have to have experience. she thought this was her moment. that is a larger crowd than when barack obama announced in 2007. she was getting the right feedback. in the race, she had a couple of good moments, but she had difficulty deciding on the lane she wanted to pick. did she want to play the bridgee, liberal, some between the she never selected. two. she never really got the backing of a large enough number of people to make her campaign sustainable. beyond that, she appealed to african-american voters, but they underestimated how loyal african american voters were to joe biden because of barack obama. well there is a lot of excitement about her, she never found her groove a

and the campaign talk to our main and mehta theme is to present the experience of exile what does it mean to leave to be in transit that state of limbo what is it like to arrive in a foreign land will you be accepted or shaken by home 2nd us. more than half a 1000000 people were forced out of nazi germany like rider on a zeta in 1033 the nazis burned her books on the run from the gestapo she fled to mexico writing explores the trauma of the statement. and nobel prize winner thomas mann the novelist found a new home in california the villa aurora became a home away from home for exiled german intellectuals from director fritz long to playwright battered. it's an incredible saga of different fates people who scattered across the world and who didn't just save their own lives but brought about an unbelievable cultural transfer because it wasn't just anyone who left many of the exiles came from the intellectual classes the liberal democratic classes the sciences and the arts. you could say they were the elite of the 5 my record like. republic here is where the contributions from this cul
