Hello from Washington, I'm Chuck Todd, cast.

40, I'm Chuck Todd, and this is the Chuck Todd cast.

Forty days, that's the amount of time

between President Biden's disastrous debate performance in Atlanta.

On June 27th and Vice President Harris's selection of her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim

Wall's. 40 days.

Wow, when we say that a week is a lifetime in politics, I guess we will now say six weeks is a century in politics,

perhaps.

Most presidential campaigns have years to plan a strategy, staff their teams, and execute.

And it's true, Kamala Harris has inherited much of the Biden campaign infrastructure, but as you'd expect,

she's putting her own spin on her theory of the case.

So what did we learn about the Young Harris for President campaign in that short window. My guest today is my

colleague here at NBC News are Washington correspondent you Michelle

Sindor. She's been leading our coverage of all things Kamala Harris. In many

ways she's been on the Harris beat, unofficially, for her entire time here as one of her

beats, it just felt, I guess, for on-air stuff a bit dormant until it isn't like we are in the situation we are in now.

Before we get the conversation started, remember to stick around for another listener question

and please remember to submit your questions to the Chuck Toddcast at gmail.com. Don't forget the the.

So she's in studio right now Yamishish, let's time stamp this. It's Wednesday afternoon, August 7th. I feel like we have to time stamp everything these days.

It has been, I don't know know maybe I'm numb to the turbulence but it's been it's when there's turbulence all the time it can sometimes feel stable.

I mean I still remember joining the New York Times in 2016 to cover politics.

Dean Bake just decided you can cover politics and I remember thinking oh this is going to be so much
