Debate Prep, Diddy, Fed Moves

Should JD Vance and Tim Walz debate next week? Ravi explains why both campaigns should consider canceling the event if Trump and Harris cannot agree to a second presidential debate. He also addresses Trump's shifting position on early voting, the Democrats' difficulties in reaching urban, non-college-educated voters, and new data that suggests the electoral college bias may not be as significant as it has been in previous elections.

Ravi then welcomes Rob Copeland back to the pod to demystify the complexities of the Federal Reserve. Ravi and Rob discuss the ripple effects of the Fed's interest rate adjustments on the economy, the current state of commercial real estate and banking, and the challenges of managing inflation and unemployment.
