In this episode:
- Harris’ opportunity economy is aimed at a broad coalition of middle classes, workers and small business owners. Republicans identify as “working class” even when they are not.
- Trump is obsessed with stoking fears about immigration. Harris takes him on and shows he is derailing from the real issues.
- Trump’s statements on immigrants eating pets in Springfield, Ohio, are extreme, absurd and tragically farcical: a surreal twisted spectacle that produces very real violence and hate against migrant communities. Vance admits to “creating stories” about pet-eating just to get media attention.
- Harris’ empathetic focus on women’s reproductive freedom beats Trump spinning abortion bans as a democratic expression of the “people’s will”.
- Harris recognises Palestinian suffering but struggles to make a significant break from Biden’s Israel policy.
- Trump’s “anti-war” narrative is revealed as a muscular stance based on “inciting fear” on the world stage.
