Steve Scaffidi is only joined on the phone by Republican strategist Bill McCoshen to get his thoughts on the DNC that finished off last night. Bill doesn’t think it quite lived up to the hype, but the real race starts today.

Speaking of the race, where is it? Bill says dead even. Steve also asks him what the biggest issue is going to be for voters. Steve also asks Bill about the power behind Kamala Harris coming to Milwaukee Tuesday night and Republican Adam Kinzinger making an appearance at the DNC.

RFK will supposedly drop out today, what does it mean?

Trump is reportedly going to hold a supposed January 6th awards show. Steve asks Bill for his take on this.

Political Junkie PowerPoint

-Bill is keeping Kristin Brey who really helped Milwaukee shine during the RNC compared to the DNC in Chicago. Steve is keeping well moderated and well-timed debates

-Bill is ditching 4-day conventions and just let them have the presidential candidates shine. Steve is ditching poorly prepared debates

Grab bags: It was Bill’s first DNC; he was apprehensive at first but was treated nicely.
