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.

This episode: White House correspondent Deepa Shivaram, senior White House correspondent Tamara Keith, national political correspondent Sarah McCammon, and veterans' affairs correspondent Quil Lawrence.
