THIS EPISODE: The successes of the Democratic National Convention are discussed by Biden 2020 campaign senior advisor Karine Jean-Pierre, who asserts to Jonathan Capahart that in her view the coming Republican National Convention by contrast will not showcase the Democrats’ message of unity. PLUS: The House has passed a $25 billion bill to support the Post Office and ameliorate mail slow downs nationwide that could impact 2020 election mail-in ballots. Rep. Pramila Jayapal joins Jonathan Capehart to discuss, asserting, ‘The idea that [Postmaster General DeJoy] is not curtailing overtime is absolutely not true.’ THEN: Vote early, and then track your ballot Vanita Gupta, President and CEO of The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, advises. Gupta tells Capehart that the large number of absentee ballots that were rejected in the 2020 primaries is a ‘wakeup call’ to all to vote as soon as possible, as voting rights groups stand ready to ensure your vote is counted. AND: The Joe Biden-Kamala Harris ticket is considered a compromise to some LGBTQ+ Democratic voters, which represents one of the most loyal portions of the Democratic base. Kate Sosin, LGBTQ+ Reporter at The 19th, joins Jonathan Capehart to discuss their article on this finding. ADDITIONALLY: Jonathan and his guests discuss Mary Trump’s recordings of her aunt criticizing her brother Donald Trump regarding his character and presidential performance. All this and much more in this Sunday edition of AM JOY on MSNBC.
