Dems have salivated over the prospect of Kamala Harris debating Donald Trump since 2019. So for as much as campaign may seek to manage expectations between now and then, I don’t know how they can. It is the entire premise of the prosecutor vs. felon pitch. Anderson Cooper 360° CNN

Prior to Kamala Harris' sit down with CNN tomorrow, I recommend listening to her lengthy — and at times, testy — interview with my colleague Astead from last November, when she was still working to get Biden re-elected. nytimes.com/2023/11/16/pod…

“What’s it’s like to interview Kamala Harris.” A Q/A with Jess Bidgood for tonight’s On Politics Newsletter nytimes.com/2024/08/28/us/…

Today’s episode of The Run-Up is about the anti poverty success of the Biden administration. And Trump’s promises to disrupt social safety net. From a Wal Mart parking lot in Milwaukee and a chat with Jason DeParle youtube.com/watch?v=ujtk6E…

Fave nyc day of the year!!!

Real reactions to The Run-Up: Colin Jackson: “Is that Astead?” Me: “New episode about grocery prices!” Colin Jackson: “Oh shit.”

. Astead making one key point on CNN about 2019: The problem for Harris then wasn't strictly "interviews" it's that the Dem primary was a policy food fight that required candidates to constantly make rapid-fire no-win choices between base and swing voters

That never happened and is not worth repeating in a national broadcast.

Earlier this year, @asteadwh and Anna Foley spent time in Wisconsin talking to people about their economic situation — as they shopped for groceries at their local Walmart. All that and more in this weeks episode of #TheRunUpNYT

NEW: Former President Trump shifts his stances on abortion bans and IVF - sending his campaign and party scrambling. Mike Allen @asteadWH Manu Raju unpack why the topic of reproductive rights is causing Republicans concern ahead of November. #InsidePolitics

Both Democrats and Republicans seem to focus on the middle class when discussing the economy, but the needs of voters with low to fixed incomes are often overlooked. All that and more on this weeks episode of #TheRunUpNYT

America's post-pandemic recovery was stronger than predicted due to government spending that sharply reduced poverty. Host Astead spoke with Jason DeParle of the New York Times about the current economy. #TheRunUpNYT

These lists are always silly at the margins but no Naomi Girma is absolutely absurd.

Thanks to Erin Burnett Erin Burnett OutFront for highlighting some voter voices from our latest episode of The Run-Up, which explored the feelings of low income voters and Trump/Harris anti-poverty policy. Great Kristen Soltis Anderson answer also! Check it out

Seems pretty clear that this election is and will continue to be very close and really modeling is only so helpful when “either candidate could win and if there’s a normal polling error either candidate could win comfortably” is the obvious state of play.

Memes don’t vote, but they do work as one piece of a larger permission structure to encourage young ppl to back Harris over Trump. Responding to a soon-to-be-18 year old voter on CNN Erin Burnett OutFront Erin Burnett

I was glad to talk to Astead W. Herndon of the New York Times about abortion, evangelicals, and the 2024 presidential election in this podcast. He asks the right questions. The New York Times Astead. nytimes.com/2024/09/05/pod…
