Dazed and Confused: Increasingly Desperate Trump Seeks Attention as Harris Forges Ahead
About this episode
Jen Psaki breaks down how Donald Trump is trying to distract voters with hateful rhetoric while Kamala Harris continues to rise in polls. Senator Raphael Warnock joins Jen for a wide-ranging conversation, covering Georgia's election board voting to require ballots to be hand-counted, as well as the not safe for work revelations about the Republican candidate for Governor in North Carolina, self-described "Black Nazi," Mark Robinson. Next, Donald Trump's niece, Mary Trump, joins to discuss her new book, her uncle's apparent mental decline and his misogynistic comments about Kamala Harris. Later, in light of Mark Robinson's racist comments on a porn site, Jen explores his history of bigoted rhetoric and explains why this type of scandal is par for the course in the GOP. Anderson Clayton, chair of the North Carolina Democratic Party, also joins the show to discuss how Robinson's scandal may affect both the presidential race and down-ballot races in the state. Finally, Jen is joined by Quentin Fulks, Harris-Walz campaign principal deputy campaign manager, to discuss the likelihood of a second debate between Trump and Harris, voter suppression, and more.
