As the Press and Republicans Clamour for More Policy Details, Harris/Walz Are Winning on Charisma and Change

We begin with the clamor from Republicans and the press that Kamala Harris should provide more details about her policy plans and sit down with the press, which she and Tim Walz have agreed to do with CNN. Joining us to discuss how FDR and Obama did not run on policy but change and whether policy wins over charisma is Richard Parker, who teaches economics and public policy at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government and is a Senior Fellow at the Shorenstein Center. He is a former managing editor of Ramparts, was a cofounder of Mother Jones magazine, and serves on the editorial board of The Nation and his books include, The Myth of the Middle Class and John Kenneth Galbraith: His Life, His Politics, His Economics.
