President Biden did not attend Vice President Kamala Harris's speech on Tuesday night, but his ill-timed flub in a video interview caused headaches for her campaign.

Vice President Kamala Harris made her closing argument Tuesday in a major speech at the Ellipse in Washington, D.C., scene of the Trump rally in 2021 that led to the Capitol riot. Harris described Trump as a tyrant who would shred the rule of law if given another four years in office. The Republican campaign, meanwhile, is still dealing with fallout from Sunday's rally at Madison Square Garden in New York, where speakers made a series of racist and dehumanizing remarks about Puerto Ricans, Black people, Palestinians and more. For more on the state of the race with less than a week to go before Election Day, we speak with journalist, author and academic Marc Lamont Hill, who says despite Kamala Harris's flaws, her message to voters is clear: "Donald Trump is worse." Hill also discusses President Joe Biden's role in the Democratic campaign, the exaggerated migration of Black men to the Republican camp and the threat of violence if Trump loses again. "No one is safe in a Trump presidency. No one is safe the day after a Trump loss," says Hill.

We continue our conversation with the acclaimed author, journalist and activist Naomi Klein, who says Vice President Kamala Harris is "running an extremely high-risk, dangerous campaign" for the White House and "trying to win without the base." Klein faults Harris for largely ignoring progressives she needs to turn out on November 5 as she courts Republicans, even as Donald Trump's authoritarianism threatens the lives of millions. "She's told us we're irrelevant, and Trump is telling us that he's going to round us up," says Klein.
