Well, VP Harris has finally decided to take herself on a little media tour - spending the last week with The View, Howard Stern, Call her Daddy, 60 Minutes and a more. But, was it at all successful? Was the editing of 60 minutes enough to make up for her word salads? Were the softball question from Alex Cooper helpful? And at the same time - she picked a fight with the WRONG Governor, going after Ron DeSantis in the same week. So, a good week for Harris? Not so much. We break it all down as Scot...

On Tuesday night VP candidate Senator JD Vance looked poised, prepared and articulate. His opponent, Governor Walz looked, well, the opposite.

On today's Flyover Country the full crew returns to recap the night and forecast wha...
