Jen Psaki explains why Trump's increasingly unhinged behavior reveals that he is running scared as Kamala Harris continues to gain momentum with voters. James Carville and Rev. Al Sharpton join Jen to reflect on the state of the race, including Harris's veepstakes and Donald Trump backing out of a presidential debate that he already agreed to. Next, Jen fact-checks JD Vance and the GOP's pro-family agenda with a reminder for voters to "watch what they do, not what they say." Rep. Elissa Slotkin joins Jen to discuss a variety of topics, including Trump's pro-Putin comments at a recent rally, her Senate race in Michigan, and more. Later, Jen is joined by The Bulwark publisher Sarah Longwell to reflect on Harris's search for a running mate based on her latest focus groups with swing-state voters. Jen also breaks down how the negotiations came together in the deal that allowed Evan Gershkovich and three other Americans to return home from prison in Russia, describing it as one of the "good days" in diplomacy. Finally, Jen is joined by Bob Bauer, Joe Biden's personal attorney, to discuss his new book, 'The Unraveling: Reflections on Politics without Ethics and Democracy in Crisis.'
