Topics
Jon Favreau和Dan Pfeiffer分析了2024年美国总统大选的选情，认为哈里斯和沃尔兹虽然处于劣势，但仍有机会获胜。他们认为，哈里斯的优势在于她有更多提升空间，而特朗普的选民基础已经相对稳定。他们还讨论了辩论的重要性，认为辩论将是哈里斯接触摇摆选民的关键机会。他们分析了哈里斯和特朗普的经济政策，认为哈里斯的政策更侧重于中产阶级和小企业，而特朗普的政策更偏向富人和大型企业。他们还讨论了切尼对哈里斯的背书以及一些共和党人私下希望特朗普落败的情况。他们认为，虽然击败特朗普很重要，但这并不能消除共和党中的MAGA主义。 Dan Pfeiffer详细分析了哈里斯的经济政策，认为她降低资本利得税增幅的决定可能基于经济而非政治考量。他还分析了特朗普的经济演讲，认为特朗普试图显得严肃和正常，但并未成功。他认为，特朗普的经济政策不受欢迎，而且他无法清晰地解释这些政策。他认为，如果特朗普避免深入讨论具体经济政策，他的竞选策略将更有优势。 Dana Bash分享了她作为辩论主持人的经验，以及她对哈里斯和特朗普辩论的预期。她认为，辩论规则对主持人插话的次数有限制，静音麦克风实际上为特朗普设置了限制。她还谈到了她对哈里斯和沃尔兹的采访，以及她对采访中问题的选择。 Caroline Reston和Tommy Vietor讨论了竞选期间的幕后故事，包括候选人的住宿安排、上门拜访和电话拜访的有效性，以及竞选工作人员与媒体的关系。

Shownotes Transcript

As the final campaign sprint begins, both candidates roll out plans on the issue that matters most to undecided voters: the economy. Republican truth-teller Liz Cheney throws her support behind Kamala Harris, while other Republicans quietly cross their fingers for a Trump defeat—even as Harris and Walz remain, in their campaign manager’s words, “clear underdogs.” Then, CNN’s Dana Bash joins the show to talk about the debate that changed everything and what to expect in next week’s big face-off.
