Ep. 501 — Jason Kander
The Axe Files with David Axelrod - A podcast by The Institute of Politics & CNN - Thursdays
Ten years after serving in Afghanistan, Jason Kander was a rising star in the Democratic Party, testing the waters for a presidential run. In 2018, he shocked the political world when he ended his campaign for mayor of Kansas City to seek treatment for PTSD. He joined David to talk about falling in love with the Army, focusing on his career as a form of self-medication, trading presidential aspirations for personal healing, and his new book, “Invisible Storm: A Soldier’s Memoir of Politics and PTSD.” To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
