Alex Thompson: A newly unified GOP
2Description
Based on this week's Republican National Convention, the assassination attempt on former President Trump seems to have unified the GOP. Alex Thompson is national political correspondent for Axios, and he says while conventions often put cleavages and frictions on display, Saturday's events have made many of those frictions within the party virtually disappear. Alex joins us for a special episode from the RNC in Milwaukee to lead us through this moment for the GOP.
- Plus: Axios' Sophia Cai recounts the threats she and other journalists faced after the Saturday shooting.
Guests: Alex Thompson, Axios national political correspondent; Sophia Cai, national politics reporter at Axios.
