Summary

We'd love to hear your thoughts on the podcast. Take this survey. Kamala Harris is trying to shore up support among unions as she seeks to become the next Democratic nominee for president. The Hill's Toby Burns talks about her efforts to win over labor support. Then, an estimated 700,000-plus Americans voted 'uncommitted' in the Democratic primaries to register dissatisfaction with President Biden's policies on the Israel-Gaza war. Organizer Layla Elabed and attorney Samer Khalaf talk about what it would take to convince the uncommitted to support Harris. And, Rupert Murdoch is attempting to change his family's irrevocable trust and hand over full control of his vast media empire to his eldest son Lachlan to preserve the company's conservative editorial direction. The New York Times' Jim Rutenberg tells us more.
