My kids 20 and 23 are certainly re-energized as I am. Excited to watch her on the campaign trail instead of being worried about how president Biden was going to perform. Donating to a candidate now for the 1st time ever.

We all know what Donald Trump is capable of. Driving down the road, breaking the rules, thin skinned road raging, lying to the cops. Let's not give that old guy the keys to the car again! Vote Blue.

I don't want to focus on "party", but I just have to comment on "energy". The energy I feel coming from one party vs the other party is SO different, and personally, I choose to align with positive energy over dark, heavy, negative energy. I am happy to be able to see a wave of positive energy now surrounding this election process.

Thank you for doing it. I love how you source folks to come and speak to us.

Biden drops out and good riddance! Now, they need to get Kamala “the joker” Harris out. Find somebody qualified!!

[TinaCarnes]

I pray for President Biden to feel better soon 🙏🙏🙏

[CeliaBatte]

One thing that I have to say is how is it that Trump is even allowed to run for the highest position in the U.S.? He should be in jail right now; not running for President! This is disgusting that we don't have measures in place to keep such a person out of a position. Who can get a regular job with one felony much less 34 in America. NO ONE can!! It makes us (America) look like idiots! Maybe that is what we are! Very Sad!

[jancurtis]

I am reenergized as well!! Make America Happy Again. 🎉🎉🎉 Remove the hate🎉🎉

I tried to watch this, but I became tired of Katie constantly talking over her guest. Maybe next time...

[ronaldclark]

The happiest time in our life. She will defeat trump.❤

[robertafoginthemorning]

I cried when I heard this bad news yesterday morning 😢 prayers for Biden and family

[TK-kuhr]

We are ready for a Woman president!! Kamala Harris 2024!! Let's do this!

[ericscavetta]

Having a ‘Generation X’ candidate (1964/65 being the start of Gen X) will certainly energize younger voter turnout out! 🎉

Even if Kamala Harris becomes president, I just don’t have much hope that America can recover anymore. I’m close to becoming homeless and I see how bad medical care has become. There’s hardly any resources to help people, they’re all tapped out. Social Security could become defunct and that’s all I’m surviving on. I see a mass homeless problem happening, it’s already getting bad. I do not see either Biden or Harris addressing this. Or anyone really caring.

[bellabates]

Can you talk about what AOC mentioned regarding timelines imposed by Republicans going to pursue legal action against the Democrats for placing Kamala in the race at this point in time…

[maryrowe]

Thank you for your questions and insights.

[patriciaheflin]

Thanks, Katie! Brian is a terrific guest and always shares his expertise with us!

[tomasinacovell]

I think Kamala Harris is a Godsend, and I LOVE her every bit as much as I truly hate Joe Manchin and I can't wait to vote for her!

[DaucusKarota]

I love the Didion shot. It's icon. It's indicative of the effort to distraction from the present time. Slouching towards the next hijinks.

[coryharry]

He’s adorable. “I think you have a big future as an interviewer Katie, you’re really good at this” 😂
