Tara is joined by Pat Ryan, the Democratic representative from New York’s 18th district, on the floor of the DNC to talk about the rise of Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee for president and his own tough campaign to return to the House in D.C. next year. They discuss the effectiveness of the Harris campaign’s messaging thus far, break down the Republican opposition’s quest to define the VP, and speculate on how far she can expand her influence.
