Summary

Vice President Harris traveled to the birthplace of the Republican Party in Wisconsin this week to campaign with a one-time senior Republican congressperson: Liz Cheney. And Republican nominee Donald Trump has upped the frequency of his campaign events. He'll return to Butler, Pennsylvania, for a rally this weekend — where he was shot in July.

And the federal judge overseeing a federal election interference case against the former president unsealed new allegations this week that assert Trump repeatedly rebuffed aides pleading with him to condemn the violence at the Capitol on January 6th, 2021, as Congress worked to certify the election.

This episode: voting correspondent Miles Parks, campaign correspondent Danielle Kurtzleben, senior White House correspondent Tamara Keith, and national justice correspondent Carrie Johnson.

The podcast is produced by Jeongyoon Han, Casey Morell and Kelli Wessinger. Our editor is Eric McDaniel. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
