Welcome back to the podcast! Journalist Steve Friess joins me as he does every week to talk politics, local, state and national.

- Former President Trump's upcoming visit to Howell has raised concerns among local officials. We analyze the strategic implications of this visit and its potential impact on the Michigan Senate race.

- Reports suggest that Vice President Harris met with Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud. We discuss the significance of this meeting and its potential impact on policy and the upcoming election.

- We preview the Democratic National Convention, highlighting key moments such as tributes to Joe Biden and speeches by the Obamas. We also discuss the importance of Vice President Harris's speech and what it means for her campaign.
