How is Trump coping with being called ‘weird’?
Kamala Harris has challenged Trump to a debate in the most ‘brat‘ way possible. She’s also introduced a new vibe into the Democrat campaign which involves calling the former president ‘a bit weird’. Is it unsettling Trump? Is it emasculating him? And what form will his response take? Later we discuss the potential VP picks - Kamala Harris will pick her running mate by this time next week. And an update on Donald Trump’s marriage to Melania.

Donations, Diversity and Dirty campaigns: The presidential campaign heats up
Kamala Harris has received the backing of Nancy Pelosi, George Clooney and Beyonce to name but three. She's found a million new small figure donors and got the female power of Silicon Valley behind her.
Meanwhile, Trump is having to think about how the campaign has changed overnight. Is the choice of his VP JD Vance still feeling like the right one? And who will Kamala pick to fight the campaign beside her - if she is crowned the new presidential candidate this week?
We talk to a close friend of Joe Biden - Congressman Brendan Boyle - about Biden's decision to pull out. And ask what the shape of the battle will be now?

Trump shot: What does it mean for the election? - The News Agents

The sharks circle Joe Biden
George Clooney leads a growing list of people who have called on Joe Biden not to stand again in 2024.
Will this shift the White House thinking on this thorny matter? Or will it take former Democratic presidents to weigh in before anything changes.
Last night House Democrats seemed resigned to the status quo after their caucus behind closed doors.
Biden is currently meeting Keir Starmer and others to celebrate NATOs birthday. NATO a full six years younger than Joe. And how is Trump responding to the idea Biden might walk? He's about to choose his VP, as we gear up for the Republican National Convention next week. We'll be there.

Customer Reviews
Great informative podcast
When Sopel and Maitles left the BBC, they took with them Lord Reith’s BBC founding principles of inform, educate and entertain. Great guests and even handed approach when applying critical thinking to the confusing and often shocking world of US politics.
Elitist nonsense
Two upper class luvvies who don’t live in the states but do support Huw Edwards (we all know what that means) try to tell ordinary people how to think.
Best avoided
What’s the point?
Neither Jon nor Emily reside in America (Jon once resided in the United States as the BBC’s editor in the United States) or specialise in American politics in their current role. From two experienced journalists with authority and trust are now mere commentators producing a Gogglebox politics podcast with nothing of substance.
