About this episode

It is day two of the Republican National Convention in Wisconsin, and a sense of dread is descending here across the pond since former President Trump named as his running mate, the ultra-isolationist Senator JD Vance. The former president, his ear bandaged, was greeted like a hero in his first appearance since the assassination attempt this weekend. “Fight, fight, fight!,” the crowds cheered and chanted, “We love Trump!” Correspondent Jeff Zeleny joins the program from the convention. 

Also on today's show: Former US Ambassador to NATO Kurt Volker; political scientist and author Robert Putnam; Astead Herndon, National Politics Reporter, The New York Times
