Senator Chris Dodd

Senator Chris Dodd wants to be president. He’s already spent 6 years in the U.S. House, and 27 years in the Senate. A Washington outsider he’s not. But in an election where experience might really matter, Dodd says he’s your man.

He draws strength from his family history, stretching back to his dad’s days as a prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials after World War II. We need to uphold the rule of law, Dodd says, and to restore America’s moral authority.

His candidacy is now a cause. A long shot, maybe. But Chris Dodd is hoping you’ll listen.

This hour, On Point: Chris Dodd, U.S. Senator, presidential candidate.

-Jane Clayson

Guests:

Senator Christopher Dodd (D-CT), presidential candidate and author of the new book “Letters from Nuremberg: My Father’s Narrative of a Quest for Justice.”
