In her first major interview of her presidential campaign, Vice President Harris pitched policy continuity with an attitude shift. She wants to continue the policies of the Biden administration while drawing a more optimistic contrast with the Trump campaign.

And NPR's reporting on a physical altercation between Trump campaign workers and Arlington National Cemetery staff caused a controversy that has continued to escalate. The military prohibits political activity at the cemetery but the Trump campaign has doubled down and say they were invited there by the families.

Correction Aug. 30, 2024:
In a previous version of the audio for this episode, two phrases were spliced together in a way that suggested the veterans' organization Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) called Donald Trump's remarks related to a confrontation at Arlington National Cemetery "asinine." In fact, the VFW described Trump's previous remarks, in which he described the Presidential Medal of Freedom as superior to the Medal of Honor, asinine.

Donald Trump unsuccessfully tried to pressure Georgia's political leadership to "find" him votes in the 2020 election, but election conspiracies he inspired and continues to encourage continue to play a big role this cycle.

Experts are confident the law and courts are strong enough to avoid a catastrophic outcome in the face of the threats, but the Harris campaign is hoping to win big enough that Trump's conspiracies won't matter.

Like two teams that meet in the seventh game of a World Series, both the Democratic and Republican parties bought Champagne for election night. But in this instance, it was hard for either to pop the corks. Days went by. The bubbly got warm and went flat.

It was not just the delay that spoiled the party. And this is not a case of post-election hangover. This was simply a sobering election.

More than 300 defendants have been charged with obstructing or attempting to obstruct an official congressional proceeding in connection to the Jan. 6 insurrection. But, so far, federal judges have disagreed about whether the statute was meant to apply only to the destruction of documents and records, not events like those on Jan 6. If the Supreme Court finds in favor of the rioters, many could see their jail sentences substantially reduced.

Trump is sitting down with the leaders of the Michigan legislature ahead of the state canvassing board meeting on Monday, where the election results are expected to be certified. He apparently hopes the GOP-controlled Legislature will appoint their own electors and overturn the popular vote.

At a White House press briefing Friday, the press secretary Kayleigh McEnany denied Trump would be pressuring the Michigan lawmakers.

Sidney Powell, a member of Trump's legal team, told Lou Dobbs of Fox Business on Thursday, "The entire election frankly in all the swing states should be overturned, and the legislatures should make sure that the electors are selected for Trump."

Also, what will the Department of Justice look like under Joe Biden?

In this special episode from It's Been A Minute With Sam Sanders, Sam dives into the short falls of Latino voter outreach.

Latinos are the second largest group of eligible voters by race or ethnicity in the United States, but they continue to be misunderstood and underappreciated by political campaigns of all parties.

Sam talks to Lisa García Bedolla, a scholar of Latino politics, about how the word "Latino" encompasses diverse communities of all political stripes and life experiences, and he checks in with the former mayor of a small town in Texas who's been thinking of Latino voter outreach for a long time.
