| September 3, 2024: The post-Labor Day sprint begins | 03 Sep 2024 | 00:05:08 | |
There are just 62 days left until the 2024 presidential election, and both candidates are gearing up for the stretch run. VP Kamala Harris is dropping a new ad this morning that tackles middle-class concerns like lowering housing costs and fighting price gouging. Meanwhile, the GOP is trying to keep pace with the Harris campaign’s lofty fundraising totals. Plus, a glimpse into what we know so far about the first presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. Playbook co-author Ryan Lizza breaks down all of the important news you need to know today. | |||
| August 23, 2024: Final thoughts from the DNC | 23 Aug 2024 | 00:16:00 | |
And that's a wrap from the Democratic National Convention! Playbook's Ryan Lizza, Rachael Bade and Eugene Daniels look back on Kamala Harris' closing speech, the potential landmines her campaign faces in the weeks ahead and whether or not TMZ can ever be trusted again after publishing a rumor that Beyoncé would appear at the convention. | |||
| August 12, 2024: Why Democrats are mum about Harris’ official platform | 12 Aug 2024 | 00:06:09 | |
A week before the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, the party has yet to define its priorities should Kamala Harris win the presidency. There is no public 100-day plan, and no explicit plan for what would happen if Democrats flipped the House. As a result, the future of critical actions like the filibuster remains uncertain. However, as Playbook co-author Rachael Bade explains, much of the blurriness is intentional. | |||
| March 29, 2024: The case for Biden to court never-Trump Republicans | 29 Mar 2024 | 00:09:13 | |
The smattering of prominent Republicans who have refused to commit to supporting Donald Trump in the general election differ in their ideological beliefs, their geography, their offices and their profiles. But they all share one thing in common: None have heard a peep from Joe Biden. Senior political columnist Jonathan Martin knows that because he reached out to every single one of them. Today, he joins Playbook co-author Ryan Lizza to talk about why this is political malpractice for Biden. Plus, the continuing fallout from the internal revolt at NBC over former RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel’s hiring and firing, and the one-year anniversary of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich’s arrest in Russia. | |||

| March 28, 2024: The RFK Jr. wild card | 28 Mar 2024 | 00:09:04 | |
Robert F. Kennedy’s presidential run has been a spectacle from the start. Despite being born into Democratic royalty, the independent candidate holds a hodgepodge of policy views that sometimes veer into conspiracy theories — but which also give him a strange appeal to an array of voters scattered across the political spectrum. Could his choice of running mate change that? Politics reporter Brittany Gibson joins Playbook co-author Eugene Daniels to discuss RFK Jr., his role in the broader 2024 race and how his running mate, Nicole Shanahan, might play into Democrats’ hands with her views on in vitro fertilization.

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court heard arguments on whether the nation should significantly limit the use of mifepristone, a pill that terminates early pregnancy. A number of justices on the majority-conservative court appeared to take issue with the idea of a sweeping, national pronouncement. But, this story is really just getting started. Anti-abortion activists and elected officials have several backup plans if the Supreme Court reject their arguments for nationwide restrictions on the drug. Health care reporter Alice Miranda Ollstein walks Playbook co-author Rachael Bade through the story. | |||

There are three important things on Donald Trump’s agenda today, and they're all connected. First, the former president has a half-billion dollar bond due stemming from the New York civil fraud case. He has said he is struggling to procure the funds to fulfill this, so it is particularly timely that Trump Media and Technology Group is going public today. Trump is estimated to have about a $3 billion stake in the company, but he can’t use that money to pay for his bond thanks to lockup provisions. Finally, Trump will get a date from the Manhattan DA in the hush money trial that was delayed due to a last-minute documents dump. Legal editor James Romoser joins Playbook co-author Ryan Lizza to talk this all through.
