The Arkansas Times has been hosting a series of fundraisers in the form of a lecture series featuring Arkansas newsmakers, politicians and writers on current events and policies. The proceeds go to the Arkansas Times Investigative Reporting Fund.

This month, we met at the Copper Grill to hear from Skip Rutherford, Dean Emeritus of the Clinton School of Public Service and founder of the non-partisan Political Animals Club, who spoke about the current race for the presidency between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump.

After the event, Skip spoke with Arkansas Times reporter Lara Farrar to give further insight into the state of the race.

Note: You’ll hear in the interview Skip Rutherford refer to an anticipated announcement of Harris first interview as the Democratic nominee. Shortly after the interview it was reported that she and her running mate Tim Walz will sit down with CNNs Dana Bash for a prime time interview Thursday night.
