In the aftermath of a fraught week, some have wondered if the level of anger and violence of this election cycle has reached that of 1968. FiveThirtyEight’s Farai Chideya joins the podcast
crew to talk about how the two years are similar and, in many ways, different.
The team also speculates on who Donald Trump will choose as his running mate and how Bernie Sanders’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton will go down. They also follow up with Harry Enten about
why he has chosen not to vote in this election.
