POLITICO Playbook Daily Briefing - A podcast by POLITICO

Yesterday, Trump used an appearance at the NABJ conference to launch a new battery of attacks aimed at Harris’ racial identity — and specifically at the fact that she is both Black and Indian-American. Playbook co-authors Rachael Bade and Eugene Daniels discuss that — and break a bit of news about Harris’ VP search.
