Vice President Kamala Harris consolidates Democratic support after President Biden bows out of the 2024 election. Former president Donald Trump and Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) hit the campaign trail. Voters begin to assess a brand new presidential contest. Join Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart for a special, expanded edition of First Look. The program will feature Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) followed by conversations with top Post writers who have been chronicling a historic and unpredictable election.
"I don't have a PhD in misogyny because I'm a man. But I got a master's degree in misogyny being on the ticket with Hillary and watching the degree of misogyny … That's a real thing and it's not like anybody has waved a magic wand and made it disappear since 2016." - Sen. Tim Kaine (D- Va.) (Video: Washington Post Live)
“I think we have a big talent pool … I will say, of all those people, I served with Kelly on the Armed Services Committee and I know he and [his wife] Gabby [Giffords] socially and I’m very, very close to them.” - Sen. Tim Kaine (D- Va.) (Video: Washington Post Live)
“I don’t think Virginia’s a 10-point Democratic state. I don’t think it’s a six-point state. I think it’s a four- or five-point state. I don’t foresee a Harris win at 10. But I would see a Harris win, that we could get … between the four or five range that would be a natural place where Virginia is right now.” - Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) (Video: Washington Post Live)
"This is a very, very consequential election. What direction is America going to take in 2024? Is it going to go back to Donald Trump and all that that means for the future of the country? Or is it going to turn a page?" - Dan Balz (Video: Washington Post Live)
“It is unnerving for Democrats to have the older candidate. It is unnerving for Democrats to have a candidate who turns 82 after Election Day. Now it’s back to a normal race. There’s a younger candidate running against a crotchety old White guy, which is what Democrats are used to.” Jim Geraghty (Video: Washington Post Live)
"JD Vance's comments about the childless cat lady suggests that, in this world in which he envisions, the role of a woman is to be a walking uterus and to give birth. And if they don’t do that, then they have failed in their purpose. That idea of masculinity helps them define how a woman should act and what she should be … and clearly Kamala Harris defies all of those expectations, therefore she is problematic."
