Trump personal attacks blunt effort to blame Harris for high cost of living

Politically Georgia

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

took office. But Trump deviated from his prepared remarks and launched more

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

about newly approved election rules.

Plus: The hosts give their picks for who’s up and who’s down

this week.
