Guest: Erica Green, NYT Education reporter

Segment 2: Trump is trusting his instincts and using the same tactics and playbook that got him elected im 2016. But this is 2020, and we are in the midst of a pandemic and a huge push for racial justice. The old Trump playbook seems to be backfiring except with his most hardcore base. We take the political pulse with Johanna Barr and Jonathan Ellis, both senior politics editors at The Times, and NYT contributing writer Clyde Haberman.
