Description

What do you do when your opponent seems to be getting all the media attention? Hold a press conference, of course. Yesterday, former President Donald Trump did just that, taking questions in Florida. The backdrop is the surging popularity of Vice President Kamala Harris, whose campaign is now leading Trump’s in most national polls —  the result of what Trump suggested is “honeymoon” that is “going to end.” What stood out from the presser? National political reporter Natalie Allison joins Playbook co-author Ryan Lizza to talk about everything from the prospect of Harris-Trump debates to the questions the former president would prefer not to answer.
