Election Day is just over 100 days away, and the Trump team is scrambling to define Kamala Harris before she can do it herself. Jon and Dan discuss the Harris campaign rollout so far, the Right's attack playbook, and Joe Biden's Oval Office address about passing the torch. Then, former UN Ambassador Susan Rice joins the show to talk about what it really means to say Harris is a "DEI candidate," and what it's like to go through the VP vetting process.

Dan Pfeiffer and Producer Caroline Reston dive into the latest polling following Joe Biden dropping out of the race and Kamala Harris emerging as the presumptive Democratic nominee. What groups is she gaining? How does her favorability rating changed? And where does she match up against Trump in the polls?

And she's off! Kamala Harris has clinched the majority of delegates, she's breaking fundraising records and driving voter registration, and she's out on the trail offering a clear contrast to Donald Trump and his dark vision for America. Tommy and guest host Ali Velshi dissect Harris's campaign rollout, the shifting dynamics of the race, and Benjamin Netanyahu's polarizing address to Congress. Then, Pete Buttigieg—a possible VP pick—joins the show to talk about Harris, JD Vance, and everything he'll be doing to help the ticket win in November.

Dan Pfeiffer and Alyssa Mastromonaco discuss vice presidential candidates, their impact on campaigns and the surprising ways onboarding a new candidate is a much bigger headache than you'd think. Producer Caroline Reston moderates. Producer Caroline Reston moderates.
