Summary
Kamala Harris has challenged Trump to a debate in the most ‘brat‘ way possible. She’s also introduced a new vibe into the Democrat campaign which involves calling the former president ‘a bit weird’. Is it unsettling Trump? Is it emasculating him? And what form will his response take? Later we discuss the potential VP picks - Kamala Harris will pick her running mate by this time next week. And an update on Donald Trump’s marriage to Melania.

| 1:11.1 | Nancy Pelosi couldn't stand her, Hillary Clinton the same, |
| 1:14.6 | but Kamala Harris is taking the fight to him on her terms |
| 1:19.4 | and getting all the attention. |

| 1:56.4 | And I didn't realize then that I was either setting a trend |
| 1:59.8 | or becoming part of a trend or just picking up on a trend. |
| 2:02.7 | You were leading another as followed. |
