The bar for what reporters perceive to be a race altering gaff is much higher than we imagine in the past, he says. The age thing around Joe Biden would be such a big deal if people were more excited about who his vie was, you know, should something terrible happen? No one is excited about Kamala Harris, not voters; she's supremely well prepared but hasn't been able to sort of somehow energize voters with her skills. He asks whether that's actually a fair assessment or whether young Republicans just don't want to step up and show themselves.

Bloomberg’s managing editor for US government Flavia Krause-Jackson, national political correspondent Joshua Green, and White House correspondent Jordan Fabian join this episode to tell us what to pay attention to–and what’s just noise.
