Shifting Alliances in the Political Landscape

Andrew Egger subs for the vacationing Mona, and A.B. occupies Damon's seat, as The Deseret News's Samuel Benson joins regulars Bill and Linda to discuss the unity and vibes at the Democratic Convention, while the panel weighs how RFK's exit from the race is likely to affect the November election.

Highlights / Lowlights

Andrew: Highlight: Gov. Tim Walz's Speech, and his family's reaction.

A.B.: Highlight: Doug Emhoff's remarks on anti-semitism, and that protests did not disrupt the convention.

Linda: Lowlight: Systemic Test Racism in Chicago (WSJ)

Bill: The slow counting of ballots in Pennsylvania, and the failure to fix this glaringly obvious problem.

Samuel: Lowlight: The slowness with which anti-semitism was addressed at the Democratic Convention.

Highlight: A moment of prayer he witnessed by Jewish men at night outside of the convention hall.
