Summary

This week, Bret sits down with the Political Editor for National Journal Josh Kraushaar, USA Today Washington Bureau Chief Susan Page and FOX News Politics Editor Chris Stirewalt, to discuss how the George Floyd protests and calls for police reform may impact the 2020 presidential candidates. The panel discusses how the controversial calls for defunding the police is a difficult area for both President Trump and former Vice President Biden to navigate, how recent civil unrest creates an opportunity for Biden to increase his lead in the race and the likelihood of Biden’s VP pick being heavily influenced by the events unfolding around the country.
