This week’s Republican Party convention was a bit odd to have in
a midterm election year. But President Trump spoke there for
nearly two hours and said he wants voters to imagine that he is
on the ballot. If that’s his strategy to help his party, will it
work or backfire?

Democratic Senator John Fetterman made a surprise video cameo at
the convention, and it was his first big appearance since the
Wall Street Journal reported that he’s not really interested in
doing his job anymore. What does Fetterman’s presence at the GOP
rally tell us about the relationship with his own party, and the
Democrats’ outreach to working class voters?

Also, is an AI president really something we should be
contemplating? What if AI proves better at, say, preparing for
natural disasters or keeping us out of wars?

And we mark 25 years since the September 11th attacks.
