In a moment of uncharacteristic giddiness, Ben likens Cole Hocker’s come-from-behind win in the Olympics 1500 meter race to what Kamala will do to Trump come November. Litesa Wallace explains why she’s not as optimistic. Speaking from personal experience from her days in the Illinois legislature, Litesa analyses MAGA’s hatred for feeding school children. Also, a few words about who Litesa wanted Kamala to pick as her running mate and why. Caught Ben off guard with that one. Litesa is a former state Rep and candidate for lieutenant governor.
