Ep. 4 | 66 Days to Election Day and Still The Media is Trash

In this episode of Campaign Games with Meseidy and Rachel, we’re diving into the election, which is just 68 days away! We take a good look at how the media covers the candidates, pointing out some biases we’ve noticed and sharing why we think the media doesn’t always get it right. We also explore the different campaign strategies of Trump and Vance compared to Harris and Walz, chatting about Trump’s podcast appearances and Harris's hesitation when it comes to unscripted interviews. Plus, we’re gearing up for the much-anticipated joint interview of Harris and Walz on CNN with Dana Bash, discussing how it might look and what kind of impact it could have. Tune in for a thoughtful and open discussion about the current political scene!
