About this episode

Speaking from the Ellipse in Washington last night, where Donald Trump had rallied his supporters on January 6th, Kamala Harris reminded voters of the Capitol insurrection and Trump's outspoken threats to democracy. The former president continues to stoke fears of widespread voter fraud, making unfounded allegations to assert that if he doesn't win, the whole thing is rigged. Congressman Dan Crenshaw was among a handful of Texas Republicans who voted to certify the 2020 presidential election. But today he's sitting firmly in Trump's camp, and promoting his vision for America. He joins the show from Texas. 

Also on today's show: John Avlon, Democratic candidate for New York State House; author Timothy Shenk ("Left Adrift")
