Here we are in Chicago, James Carville and I on the Democratic Convention. We're going to have exciting guests every day.

Also, go to Politicon.com slash tour to get your tickets for our appearance at the 92nd Street Y

on September 19th and in Atlanta on October 12. Hey James, we are in the High Cotton. I mean we have four guests who are chairs of the most

of the most important parties, Democratic chairs, the most important states in the country,

Susan Zwecker of Virginia,

Lavora Barnes of Michigan, Ben Wickler of Wisconsin,

and Nicky Freed of Florida, all states that really will matter a lot in November.

So let me just start with each of you.

Susan, a couple of weeks ago, at least before Harris, Trump was making sounds that they really were going to compete in Virginia are they?

Well they keep saying they are going to compete and bring staff on board and set up shop.

Haven't seen a lot of that, just a little bit of that.

But you know what, it doesn't matter what they do.

We've got our plan and we've got 18 offices open in Virginia with Harris

Waltz now, 25 by the end of the month. We've had a hundred thousand

volunteer sign up since Memorial Day.

And so whatever they do, they're going to do, we've got a plan, we're going to work our plan.

The 15 electoral votes of Michigan have worried Democrats earlier, particularly with the

Gaza conflict and the primary showed some disaffection.

Has Harris made a difference and how do you feel about your prospects in November?

Yeah, Harris has definitely made a difference.

You know, the folks in Michigan are all saying that they are feeling and openness, a

willingness to listen and have conversations that they weren't feeling before.
