Description

It’s been a strange election—Trump being shot at on stage; Biden dropping out—but also a very familiar one, with the same issues, same rhetoric, and same deadlocked, dysfunctional Congress waiting on the other side.

Guests: Jamelle Bouie, New York Times opinion columnist.

Osita Nwanevu, contributing editor at the New Republic and columnist at The Guardian.
