August 22, 2024 What's happened to RFK Jr?
Third-party candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr is widely expected to drop out of the US presidential race soon, and possibly endorse Donald Trump.

Since Kamala Harris ascended to top of the ticket, there have been reports of meltdowns in Trump world, with Republican strategists suggesting Trump is having a public breakdown. Has the era of a thoughtful, poignant Trump already disappeared?

Also on the podcast, Kamala Harris's Tim Walz pick came as a shock to many Democrats, with insiders believing Josh Shapiro was the favourite.

And with the left of the Democrats becoming increasingly polarised over issues like Israel-Gaza, was this part of a strategy to mobilise the base? Freddy Gray speaks to Editor-at-Large of the WSJ, Gerard Baker.
