Harris Fumbles Uncommitted Voters, w/ Layla Elabed & Elianne Farhat

This week, Kamala Harris surprised many by choosing the most progressive pick on her "veep-stakes" short list, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Excitement and momentum on the left didn't last long as many are critiquing Harris' response to protestors in the crowd at a Michigan rally in which she equated their protests to stop the genocide in Gaza as a vote for Donald Trump. Joining the show to discuss the Uncommitted National Movement, which organized earlier this year to earn 30 uncommitted delegates at the Democratic National Convention later this month demanding ceasefire in Gaza, are Layla Elabed and Elianne Farhat.

Before that, Cayden is joined by Executive Director of Seed the Vote, Emily Lee, to discuss the importance of continuing the work of progressive electoral ground game and deep canvassing around the country through the remaining months of this election season. And we take a ride along the campaign trail with a feature of one of Seed the Vote's ground game canvassers in St. Louis, who spent the past few months working to re-elect Cori Bush.
