Warning: this episode contains strong language.

With less than two weeks to go in the race for the presidency,
Donald Trump’s longest-serving White House chief of staff is
warning that he met the definition of a fascist, Kamala Harris is
seizing on the message of Mr. Trump as a threat to democracy and
Mr. Trump himself is relying on viral stunts and vulgarity to
break through to undecided voters.

The Times journalists Michael Barbaro, Michael S. Schmidt, Lisa
Lerer, Reid J. Epstein and Nate Cohn try to make sense of it all.

Guests:

Michael S. Schmidt, an investigative reporter for The New
York Times, covering Washington

Lisa Lerer, a national political correspondent for The New
York Times.

Reid J. Epstein, a New York Times reporter covering politics.

Nate Cohn, the chief political analyst for The New York
Times.

Background reading:

John Kelly, the Trump White House’s longest-serving chief of
staff, said that he believed that Donald Trump met the definition
of a fascist.

Harris called Mr. Trump’s reported remarks on Hitler and
Nazis “deeply troubling.”

A look at the polls: A slight shift toward Mr. Trump but
still no clear favorite.
