Summary
Kamala Harris has received the backing of Nancy Pelosi, George Clooney and Beyonce to name but three. She's found a million new small figure donors and got the female power of Silicon Valley behind her.
Meanwhile, Trump is having to think about how the campaign has changed overnight. Is the choice of his VP JD Vance still feeling like the right one? And who will Kamala pick to fight the campaign beside her - if she is crowned the new presidential candidate this week?
We talk to a close friend of Joe Biden - Congressman Brendan Boyle - about Biden's decision to pull out. And ask what the shape of the battle will be now?

| 1:28.7 | that are taking place at the border, whether it be in international affairs. She's got a selling |
