- 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.
