Tom and Aaron discuss recent polling that shows Kamala Harris running (on average) one point ahead of Joe Biden in 2020.

(Especially in battleground states like North Carolina, where GOTV efforts made a big difference four years ago.) Also, will Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s Trump endorsement make a difference? Tom says probably not much – but again, everything matters when the race is as tight as this one appears to be.
