The panic isn't just premature, it's ridiculous. And Alex dives into the data showing the race is the same as it's been for weeks - and it's moving in one direction.

Today, a friend of the show, Trygve Olson, joins us. A few days after the debate, it's safe to say Vice President Kamala Harris shut out Donald Trump in front of over 67 million people on every question answered, so much so that VP Harris received an endorsement from one of the world's most famous people, Taylor Swift. Joe explains how Harris was more prepared than Trump and shows an apparent contrast between the two.

We're officially post-Labor Day! While it might feel like we've been in high gear for a while, believe it or not, many voters are just now tuning in. Joe resets the race and explains why it's fallen into a 53-46 structure for a while now. And why that is bad news for Trump. What swing states are now in play - and why Joe thinks the campaign spending numbers tell a bigger story.

Joe and Alex are back with why the Harris nomination - and Walz pick for VP - have unlocked a new, powerful contrast that Joe thinks will beat Trump and "JV" Vance this fall. What does Tim Walz bring to the ticket? Why is "dad joy" just what America needs right now? Yeah, we get into Trump's insane presser. He's shook. And he's clearly mad his horrendous VP pick is out there drawing no attention and no crowds. And how could the Trump team be so unprepared for Kamalamentum? Walzmentum? Both!

Of course, news breaks while Joe and Alex are explaining the Democrats' best path forward to the Presidency... what does Joe think is coming next? What did Trump see in JD Vance? Turns out, flattery will get you a vice presidential nomination... but will he add any votes? Plus - is anything said at the RNC actually breaking through? And why 'unity' is the last word Joe would use to describe the RNC. When they try to pivot, you shouldn't fall for it. But the media will.
