Summary

This week, The Washington Post's Libby Casey, Rhonda Colvin and James Hohmann sit down just after the conclusion of Vice President Kamala Harris's acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention. The crew discusses the vibes of the convention, how different it felt from the July Republican National Convention, and the policies Democrats put at the heart of their 2024 campaign. Then, the team goes through their favorite moments of the week.

Plus, were Democrats more effective than Republicans at harnessing the power of influencers and social media? The Washington Post Universe's Carmella Boykin and Joseph Ferguson join the show to discuss what's going on in the DNC's "influencer lounges" and beyond.
