First up: Nigut and Bluestein look at former President
Donald Trump’s second news conference in a week. This one was arranged for him
to highlight the high prices of groceries and housing since President Joe Biden

personal attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris. Plus, Bluestein and Nigut
discuss the first joint campaign appearance of Harris and Biden, who celebrated
the negotiations that will lower the costs Medicare pays for 10 important
commonly used drugs.
Then: The former dean of the state Legislature, Democrat
Calvin Smyre, joins the podcast. He’s headed to Chicago for the Democratic
National Convention.
Plus: Atlanta Journal-Constitution elections reporter Mark
Niesse joins Nigut and Bluestein to answer questions from the listener mailbag
