maria teresa kumar, what are you seeing in this moment? >> it's joe biden picking kamala harris is ushering the future in many ways. we know that women are the ones that are very much the underpinning of the democratic party. we know that black women are the ones that lead that party. and in kamala harris, not only is she identifying with black women, with immigrant women aspiring that their daughters can too be part of that stage some day occupying the white house and beyond, it's also talk about the policy issues that we need to address. in kamala harris, we know that she wants to revisit some sort of universal income. we know that shep wa wants to revisit policing and talk about immigration reform. so he is in kamala harris bridging the future that so many americans want to talk about. we had michael steele just talking about this president who's incredibly divisive and trying to pit one america against the other. by having kamala harris on the ticket with joe biden, what he is clearly saying is that as americans, our diversity is what

. >> hi my name is maria teresa kumar i'm so happy to be here with zerlina maxwell and i'm honored to discuss your book "the end of white politics." this book challenges what we expect is a status quo for the democratic party and as we are trying to read into the tea leaves of 2020 it couldn't have come at a better time. this is a critique that is challenged in america right now but we also understand that it is imperative that people take your book too hard and look at it as an opportunity to change the game come this election. with that i would love to recognize the wonderful work you have done as a doctor and an activist and as a political operative yourself. you believe it's going to come of the book video friedan provided the political politics. welcome. >> guest: thank you so much. i'm so happy to see you and i know all of this are -- and to see they are safe and healthy because this is a scary times i'm so happy to be here. >> host: i want to get started and i will begin with the work you are doing this so relevant. the worst part of the hillary clinton campaign you have your o

with me now is maria teresa kumar of votto latino.ore i get into specifics on sort of the larger issues of the convention, because i want to talk to you about that and the issue of specifically exciting latino voters. let's talk big picture here. what is a good night for joe biden in your head tonight? >> delivering the vision of america, the moment that he gets into office. as mike mentioned, we are all living in such devastating times. and unless he's able to make a contrast of what will happen the moment that he gets into office, that he will turn down the temperature on political rhetoric, that he'll roll up his sleeves and get to work, he has to be able to deliver that contrast. not just to the democrats. the democrats are there. we're going to go out and vote. it is, how do you expand it to young people so he can bring people over and how does he tip the scales so that we can get the independents and republicans who know that under donald trump they cannot make sure to keep their families safe. and they've been doing that with -

senator claire mccaskill of the great state of missouri and maria teresa kumar, president and ceo of reverend, we saw with steve kornacki the strength of the biden polling advantage on the issue of race relations. more than any other issue, biden is outpacing the president on the issue of handling race relations. what do the democrats do with that strategically? what do they do with that in the way they're going to present themselves to the country this week? >> they must address the real racial divide that has now had this whole country's attention. we are at a time of reckoning. joe biden and kamala harris represents a ticket that says that we can deal with racial inclusion, and we can without any fear deal with racial injustice without being polarizing. the fact that this president has embraced everyone that has outright been racist, anti-semitic, anti-lgbtq, is in and of itself some energy, but they must be able to show, as they have began to, that they are not only the opposite, but that they can deal with this and govern in a way that would address the injustices without making

let's bring in aisha bill, maria teresa kumar as well. and washington correspondent for the daily beast. and at some point, we'll ask what john mclaughlin thinks. but aisha, what stood out to you on the second night of the virtual convention? >> yeah, so, hey, ari. good to see you. i've been most interested in how we would be able to translate the passion, the heartstrings, the empathy, all the emotion that you get from conventions when you're in an arena into people's homes. especially because it was going to be so disjointed, perhaps, with people speaking from different places. i think today they did it really well. jill biden's entire talk moved me. i love that she came from a school, so many people right now are wondering about what they're going to do with back to school. around covid-19. i love that we got more of her personal story, we know who she is. and they presented their family as, look, we got together and i, at 26 years old, had to figure out how to heal a broken family when she connected with joe biden. it made us think ab
