Guest: Charlie Sykes
To The Contrary's Charlie Sykes joins host Molly Jong-Fast to break down why Donald Trump's closing message on the campaign trail is so tone deaf, from promising a $5,000 check while suggesting his supporters still couldn't afford to spend time at Mar-a-Lago to his increasingly harsh, racially charged rhetoric and odd, unsettling behavior, all signs of a deeply flawed campaign strategy.

Guest: Blake Gendebien
Democratic nominee Blake Gendebien joins host Molly Jong-Fast to make the case for his run in New York's 21st Congressional District, the seat held by Congresswoman Elise Stefanik. A dairy farmer, basketball coach and school board president who milks 500 cows on 1,200 acres and serves as vice chairman of the Agri-Mark dairy cooperative, he says that although the district is Trump +21, he leads opponent Anthony Constantino by four points in the latest Siena poll.

Guest: Justin J. Pearson
Tennessee State Representative Justin Pearson makes the case for his run for Congress in Tennessee's 9th District, a seat gerrymandered to be Trump +21 that his campaign has pulled within four points. He says the race is now competitive because people across Tennessee are fed up with corruption, unaffordable housing and medical care, toxic data centers, and leaders who answer to billionaires instead of working people.

Guest: Isaiah Martin
Former congressional candidate Isaiah Martin breaks down why Republicans in several races are panicking as Donald Trump tries to prop up weak candidates with bribes and distractions, including $8 billion in farm and diesel assistance in Kansas, while critics argue the real cause of high prices is the war he backed and Republicans' refusal to end it.
