Summary

President Trump is working to enthuse his supporters with rallies full of grievance and conspiracy, harkening back to his successful 2016 run. He cites the energy at his rallies as evidence that polls showing him down are wrong. Meanwhile, Joe Biden's closing argument is the same as his opening argument: Donald Trump is a unique threat to the nation and I represent a return to stability.

This episode: campaign correspondent Asma Khalid, campaign correspondent Scott Detrow, and senior political editor and correspondent Domenico Montanaro.
