Saturdays & Sundays with Jonathan Capehart

On this week's episode of 'The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart':

It has been less than a week since Kamala Harris announced Tim Walz as her running mate and they have built a momentum that has changed the 2024 election playing field. I get into how Democrats plan to keep the momentum going, with national co-chair of the Harris-Walz campaign, Mitch Landrieu, and Senator Bob Casey. Plus, two former police officers, Michael Fanone and Aquilino Gonell, who survived serious injuries from the Jan. 6th insurrection, are calling for Congress to certify the 2024 election results. I sat down with Michael Fanone who told me, “sometimes I feel like a broken record talking about January 6th.” And, why the media needs to do better this election year. After major news networks ran the former president’s Mar-a-Lago press conference for over an hour, it brought back bad memories of how the media covered Donald Trump during the 2016 election. All that and more on “The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart.” 

On this week's episode of 'The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart':  The dynamic duo Kamala Harris and Tim Walz pull in huge and enthusiastic crowds on their battleground campaign swing, as polls show the Vice President and her newly minted running mate are on a roll. I'll break down Gov. Walz's feisty and folksy appeal with someone who knows him well: Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison. If the Democratic ticket wins in November, not only could we get the first woman president, the nation could also get its first female Native American Governor. She is Minnesota Lt. Gov Peggy Flanagan, and I asked her about his governing style and her future. Plus: Is Donald Trump ok?  He seems off his game, doubling down on lame taunts about Kamala Harris' intelligence and her name. Why that's a sure sign that her crowds and the polls have him rattled. All that and more on “The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart.” 

On this week's episode of 'The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart': All eyes are on Vice President Harris. She spent the weekend meeting with the six finalists aiming to be her vice presidential running mate, which means her choice could be announced at any moment, in time for their first joint appearance set for Tuesday. Tonight, we're getting into the ins and outs of this all-important decision and the 2024 campaign with Rep. Robert Garcia, Brendan Buck, Maria Teresa Kumar and Eugene Daniels. And unexpected allies: Former Rep. Denver Riggleman joins me to explain what drove him to join the "Republicans for Harris" coalition.

Mark Kelly, that he deleted minutes later, on “The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart.” 

On this week's episode of 'The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart': It’s decision time. Vice President Harris has secured the Democratic presidential nomination and is spending this weekend interviewing potential running mates. Meanwhile Donald Trump is trying to claw back some momentum with a rally in Atlanta, as he continues to trash her intelligence. Good luck with that. Veteran political advisor Valerie Jarrett joins me with insight on Harris's VP choices, and the role of race and gender in this election. Plus, I have something to say about Trump's racist ramble at the NABJ convention where he said Kamala Harris "turned Black." Then, I'll discuss all this nonsense with Charles Coleman Jr., Danyel Smith, former Sen. Doug Jones and Tara Setmayer. Lastly, did Kamala Harris really put the parents of kids who missed school in jail? No! I'll set the record straight on what she did as San Francisco DA. All that and more on “The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart.”

In just 100 days, voters will make their choice between two firsts: the country's first female commander in chief in Vice President Kamala Harris or its first felon president in Donald Trump. I'll discuss the high stakes and shifting landscape of this unprecedented election with DNC Chair Jaime Harrison and Washington Post editor at large Robert Kagan. Vice President Harris was only the second Black woman ever elected to the U.S. Senate. Two women hoping to join that history-making club join me today: Delaware Senate candidate, Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester and Maryland Senate Candidate, Angela Alsobrooks, Prince George's County Executive. Finally, my political panel and Aunt Gloria will weigh in on the racist and sexist attacks against Vice President Harris and other Republican nonsense.

From record-breaking fundraising to Zoom-breaking support calls, Vice President Kamala Harris's bid for the White House is off and running strong, fueled by volunteers mobilizing from every cross-section of voters. I'll ask the woman whose call started it all, Jotaka Eaddy, founder of Win with Black Women, how they'll keep the momentum going. And, Democrats in array! Former first couple Barack and Michelle Obama endorse Harris' presidential campaign after Congressional Democrats line up quickly to declare their support.
