Welcome back to The Final Word! This week, we're diving headfirst into a whirlwind of political drama and controversy. Trump and his V.P. pick J.D. Vance took their attacks to a new low, targeting Vice President Harris' ethnic background with cringeworthy racism, proving once again that bigotry remains a central theme in their playbook. And if you missed it, Trump made sure to showcase his prejudiced views directly to Black journalists, leaving no doubt about his disdain.

In other news, there’s a glimmer of hope as Americans Evan Gershkovich and Paul Whelan are freed in a significant prisoner exchange with Russia. Meanwhile, Trump’s chaotic influence continues as he forces the head of Project 2025 out of the spotlight. With the latest poll numbers showing a tight race between Harris and Trump in key swing states—forty-eight percent support Harris and forty-seven percent back Trump—the stakes are higher than ever.

J.D. Vance, who recently sparked controversy with his bizarre comments about "childless cat ladies" running the country, seems to have thick skin despite the backlash from Democrats calling him "weird." And let’s not forget Lara Trump’s attempt to join the family’s legacy of racism, making our list of things to unpack this week.

Tune in for all this and more on The Final Word—where we break it down and say it to their faces!
