Today on the Playbook podcast, it's Kamala Harris versus Pete Buttigieg again.

We're going to get into the latest on the Iran ceasefire, which seems to be tenuous.

And Senate Republicans are headed to the White House to talk reconciliation.

Hello, I'm Megan Messerly. And I'm Adam Wren. It's Friday, April the 10th.

Good morning, Adam. How are you? I'm doing well, Megan. It's good to be back with you.

Good to be back with you. And we're doing a lot of driving yesterday, all in the service of

shaping up to be two of the biggest 2028 contenders. So they're set to butt heads at the National

Action Network Conference after shadowing each other across the south.

This feels like a pretty heated rivalry.

Adam, can you walk us through what's going on here?

Yeah.

So, and just to sort of lay the predicate at the top, they are friends, according to both of their spokespeople, who we reached out to

for this top. They're friendly with one another. But they are potentially on a collision course.

If they both run in 2028 and they both sure seem like they are going to, they've shadowed

each other, as you said, across the south. Pete Buttigieg campaign for Sean Harris,

the only National Democrat to do so

in Marjorie Taylor Green's district this week. But we saw him lose this week, even though he

outperformed the margins. And Harris is spending this whole month doing the same thing. She's touring

the South, building those relationships with black voters, as we talked about last week.
