Coming up on Washington Week with The Atlantic:
State of the Race:
Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz, sit down for their first joint television interview, and Harris’ first since she replaced President Joe Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket. We’ll examine the key moments of the highly anticipated and high-stakes interview, and the strength of Harris’ candidacy, as she closes the gap with former President Donald Trump in key battleground states.
Meanwhile, the fallout from Trump’s controversial visit to Arlington National Cemetery continues after a member of his staff had an altercation with an employee and filmed a campaign video in the cemetery’s heavily restricted area known as Section 60.
