Former U.S. Senator Kelly Loeffler joins the podcast to discuss how the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump may change the tone and tenor of the presidential race. The Georgia Republican also discusses how the mood of the Republican National Convention may shift in the aftermath of the violent attack that left at least two people dead and Trump injured.
Then, the hosts discuss how Democrats are responding to the assassination attempt on Donald Trump and how it changes the debate over whether President Joe Biden is a liability to the ticket who ought to allow Democrats to pick a potentially stronger candidate against Trump.
