Then Emily is joined by comedian Dave Smith, host of “Part of the Problem,” to react to Vice President JD Vance's tense CBS News town hall, including an emotional confrontation with the widower of a service member killed in the Iran war.

Emily is then joined by Evan Barker, author of the New York Times bestseller “Nothing Left: Confessions of a Democratic Operative,” to discuss her journey from progressive Democratic fundraiser to independent Trump voter.
