The end of the Democratic National Convention marks a major turning point in the

battle for the White House. On the week's political developments and what comes next,

we turn now to the analysis of Brooks and K-part. That is New York Times columnist David Brooks and

Jonathan Kapart, associate editor for the Washington Post. It's great to see you

What about you David? Do you get that same sense? Yeah well certainly the emotional change in the finish line. What about you, David? Do you get that same sense?

Yeah, well, certainly the emotional change in the Democratic Party is as stark as possible to imagine.

But if you look at the two parties, the two conventions, I'd say the Republicans doubled down on their core story and the

Democrats expanded their story. And so by doubling down I mean the Trump's core

story is the elites have betrayed us, we're going to build a working class army to overthrow the system.

And picking J.D. Vance just doubles down on that story.
