Biden's out and it looks like Harris is in? Our one-day poll is out and we're explaining what it means...and doesn't. U.S. nursing homes are failing in many ways, but who is going to fix them? We discuss America's elderly and their worsening care. Finally, with Summer Olympics ready to start in Paris, we have a fun fact that's perfect!
Joe Biden ended his campaign and Kamala Harris very quickly became the almost-certain Democratic nominee. The next day, we asked Americans in a one-day survey with NPR and PBS News what they thought. The results say a lot but we're also discussing why a one-day poll can tell us only so much.
Then, the COVID pandemic exposed deep flaws in our country's nursing homes, but what is being done to fix them? We talk with R. Tamara Konetzka from the University of Chicago to get a better sense of what's wrong with the system and whether the huge batch of ageing boomers might change that.
Finally, what will you be watching during the Paris Olympics? We find out what America has to say in this fun fact!
