Coming up on Washington Week with The Atlantic:

Tight Race: 

With just days to go until Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz officially accept their party’s nomination at the Democratic National Convention, polls show the race for the White House tightening. And former President Donald Trump’s strategy to beat Harris remains unclear, as members of his own party call for him to focus on policy differences over personal attacks. 

Joining editor in chief of The Atlantic and moderator, Jeffrey Goldberg to discuss this and more: 

  • Susan Glasser, Staff Writer, The New Yorker
  • Zolan Kanno-Youngs, White House Correspondent, The New York Times
  • Tarini Parti, National Politics Reporter, The Wall Street Journal 
  • Chuck Todd, Chief Political Analyst, NBC News

Major funding for “Washington Week with The Atlantic” is provided by Consumer Cellular, the Yuen Foundation, Sandra and Carl DeLay-Magnuson, Rose Hirschel and Andy Shreeves, Robert and Susan Rosenbaum, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and PBS.
