The ring

No side.
Just the fight.

Forward Not Back is a nonpartisan political show built like a boxing ring.

What we stand for

The house rules

  1. Both corners

    Every fight gets the strongest case from each side.

  2. Real experts

    Pollsters, policy veterans and people who’ve been in the room.

  3. Numbers on the table

    Polls, votes and dollars. Not vibes.

  4. Touch gloves

    Hit hard on ideas. Never on people.

  5. You make the call

    We show the fight. You score it.

A red glove and a blue glove touching
The gloves

Red. Blue.
Touching.

That’s the whole idea. Go a few rounds, then touch gloves. Forward, not back.
