Flyover Country with Scott Jennings

ROUNDTABLE: Is the Kamala Momentum Real?

It's been just a week and a half since Joe Biden dropped out and passed the torch to Kamala Harris, and her campaign seems to be...rolling? New polling suggest Kamala has given Democrats the bump they need to make this race competitive again, putting plenty of swing states back in play. But will it be enough or will the poor ratings of Biden/Harris presidency drag her down? And can a VP pick make the difference? On this week's Flyover Country we dive into the new strategies from the Harris team, some new ads from Trump and Harris and do some recalibrating as the new matchup comes into view. Join us!

ROUNDTABLE: Welcome to the Kamala Harris Show

Well - what a week it has been! In a stunning change of heart, on Sunday, President Biden announced his candidacy for a second term was done and he'd be backing his own VP Harris as the next President. In the days that followed, things moved quickly, with delegates throwing their support behind the VP - seemingly avoiding an open convention. Now, with a new candidate for the Democrats, Trump must pivot his attacks, while Harris finds her footing. Tune in this week as we discuss everything from this historical week!
