WNYC's Special Convention Coverage 2020 | Aug 18, 2020

The Democrats last night wove a narrative about President Trump ability, or inability, to handle the pandemic, but also about his character.

On Today's Show:
- Christina Greer, political science professor at Fordham University, host of the podcast "FAQNYC," politics editor at The Grio and author of Black Ethnics (Oxford University Press, 2013),
- Amanda Becker, Washington correspondent for The 19th, talks about Trump's pardon of Susan B. Anthony, and the centennial of the 19th Amendment, which recognized women's right to vote.
- Batya Ungar-Sargon, opinion editor of The Forward, talks about the Democratic Party's position on Israel, and the internal politics of Jewish democrats
- Nathaniel Rakich, Elections analyst at 538, talks about the Democrats' electoral map, and how the convention speakers, and what they say, suggests about their strategy.
