Roundup: Harris Pitches Hope; Trump's Military Cemetery Feud

Roundup: Harris Pitches Hope; Trump's Military Cemetery Feud

In her first major interview of her presidential campaign, Vice President Harris pitched policy continuity with an attitude shift. She wants to continue the policies of the Biden administration while drawing a more optimistic contrast with the Trump campaign.

And NPR's reporting on a physical altercation between Trump campaign workers and Arlington National Cemetery staff caused a controversy that has continued to escalate. The military prohibits political activity at the cemetery but the Trump campaign has doubled down and say they were invited there by the families.

Correction Aug. 30, 2024:
In a previous version of the audio for this episode, two phrases were spliced together in a way that suggested the veterans' organization Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) called Donald Trump's remarks related to a confrontation at Arlington National Cemetery "asinine." In fact, the VFW described Trump's previous remarks, in which he described the Presidential Medal of Freedom as superior to the Medal of Honor, asinine.
