About this episode

Kamala Harris has challenged Trump to a debate in the most ‘brat‘ way possible. She’s also introduced a new vibe into the Democrat campaign which involves calling the former president ‘a bit weird’. Is it unsettling Trump? Is it emasculating him? And what form will his response take? Later we discuss the potential VP picks - Kamala Harris will pick her running mate by this time next week. And an update on Donald Trump’s marriage to Melania.
