Why is Biden falling behind Trump in the polls?
The state of the presidential race with just under six months to go.
With both candidates gearing up for the first presidential debate and national party conventions, the Americast team takes a step back to look at where the race stands now.
Justin Webb and Sarah Smith give their analysis on recent polling and ask whether the Biden camp should be worried, and how polls could influence the next six months.
Also, the Trump campaign reposted a video this week which referenced a βunified reich.β Marianna Spring looks into where this video came from and why it matters that staffers are posting videos that they did not make themselves.
