Summary

Playbook's Ryan Lizza chats with POLITICO's Jonathan Martin and Zolan Kanno-Youngs from The New York Times to recap day 3 of the Democratic National Convention. Former President Bill Clinton made a pitch for unity, Oprah Winfrey brought the joy, and VP pick Tim Walz focused on the blocking and tackling — among many other football metaphors. Ryan, JMart and Zolano discuss the convention programming’s appeal to middle America and the working class, with an eye toward key swing states like Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.
