Summary

Senior Advisor & Communications Director for the Democratic National Convention Xochitl Hinojosa and Yahoo News' own Will Rahn join Michael Isikoff and Daniel Klaidman on "Skullduggery."

Christine Todd Whitman and former New York Rep. Susan Molinari on the first night. Then, Rahn brings us into the future of the convention and how things will be shaped for years to come in a post-covid election world.
