On Point's Jack Beatty argues Democrats should embrace 'sticky symbolism' of billionaire private jets
Why It MattersBillionaire private jets are being cast as a political symbol, which could draw the wider business-aviation sector into partisan debate over who flies privately and how that travel is perceived.
On Point news analyst Jack Beatty, in an episode of The Jackpod, a segment on history, literature and politics, discusses why Democrats need to embrace the "sticky symbolism" of billionaire private jets. The episode is part of the WBUR program On Point with Meghna Chakrabarti.
