Donald Trump Charm School (Guest: Representative Dan Kildee)

55 minutes

This week’s agenda:

Donald Trump has a 30-minute tantrum with black journalists … and he didn’t exactly stick the landing.

In the least surprising news of the week, the UAW has added its endorsement to the Harris campaign

New polling shows the battle for the White House has become a tossup

A long court battle ends with Michigan’s minimum wage increasing … just as voters wanted, but a Republican Legislature tried to sabotage

President Biden calls for major changes to the Supreme Court

And the Republican-controlled U.S. House is continuing its record of getting nothing done … leaving town after failing to pass a federal budget

We are joined by Congressman Dan Kildee from Flint, a senior member of the House Budget Committee and Chief Deputy Democratic Whip. Kildee is retiring this year after 12 years in Congress.

He has devoted his career to public service, previously serving as Genesee County Treasurer, on the Genesee County Board of Commissioners and on the Flint Board of Education. Kildee co-founded and served as the president of the Center for Community Progress, a national non-profit organization focused on urban land reform and revitalization; and founded Michigan’s first land bank—the Genesee County Land Bank—which is responsible for tens of millions of dollars in redevelopment in Flint.
