About this episode
100 days out from the presidential election, Jen Psaki examines how Kamala Harris is meeting the moment with a forward-looking vision just one week into her campaign, while Donald Trump and Project 2025 are proposing to take the country backward. Pete Buttigieg joins Jen for a wide-ranging interview, discussing the evolution of the Democratic party's messaging, the veepstakes, JD Vance and how having kids has informed how he thinks about policy. Next, Jen breaks down JD Vance's deeply weird comments about childless women that have recently drawn ire from both sides of the aisle. Political analysts Claire McCaskill and Jennifer Palmieri join the show to reflect on the current state of the race. Finally, Jen talks with Senator Laphonza Butler about her long-time colleague Kamala Harris's campaign for President as Democrats organize and fundraise at record levels.
