About this episode
Since Kamala Harris ascended to top of the ticket, there have been reports of meltdowns in Trump world, with Republican strategists suggesting Trump is having a public breakdown. Has the era of a thoughtful, poignant Trump already disappeared?
Also on the podcast, Kamala Harris's Tim Walz pick came as a shock to many Democrats, with insiders believing Josh Shapiro was the favourite. Why didn't Kamala opt for Josh Shapiro – the candidate the Republicans feared most? And with the left of the Democrats becoming increasingly polarised over issues like Israel-Gaza, was this part of a strategy to mobilise the base? Freddy Gray speaks to Editor-at-Large of the WSJ, Gerard Baker.
