This week, we discuss Kamala Harris and Tim Walz being the most progressive presidential ticket in American history.

Next, we break down the storm of major news stories about escalating wars and conflict across the globe—in the Middle East, in Venezuela, and Ukraine, what they mean for Americans here at home.

We also discuss the influence of the presidential election on President Biden’s foreign policy decisions and the challenges the next president will inherit.

Finally, we head to Politicology+ where we talk about new research that voters might be less racist and sexist than we think—and why journalists weren’t interested in the story.
