Summary

The Republican National Convention concluded last week. We heard from Trump's VP nominee, JD Vance, and we heard from Donald Trump for the first time since the assassination attempt. Trump pushed lie after lie during his speech. No surprise. The real question is whether or not Joe Biden can beat him. Mark Leibovich from The Atlantic and Molly Jong Fast from the Fast Politics Podcast join the podcast to lay out the plan forward to defeat Donald Trump. Plus, you've probably heard of Project 2025. What is it and how is it fueling the Republican Party's agenda?

0:41.8	This time to look at the Republican National Convention where
0:44.9	Donald Trump was nominated for the third time for president. He's one and
0:49.8	one so far and right now there's three and a half months before the election and at
0:57.3	this moment Trump thinks he he has it in the bag. Poll show him with leads in all the battleground states, four of them

1:17.0	That would get him to 269 electoral boats and a tie, in which case he would need either the second
1:27.4	district in Maine or in Nebraska. Those are the two states which allocate their electoral votes by giving
1:35.8	two to whoever wins the popular vote in the state, and then one each for the winner of each congressional district and the second
