Andy is joined by Jessica Yellin to break down where we are on the precipice of history. They walk you through what's yet to be counted, what may end up in court, what Trump may do next, and what Biden should do next. And not to be lost: what this all means for COVID-19. Brew another pot of coffee – this may take a while.

Andy calls up The New York Times White House correspondent Michael Shear, one of three journalists who tested positive for COVID-19 in the days following the superspreader event in the Rose Garden. Shear recounts what happened to him, his experience covering the Trump administration's pandemic response, and what he thinks might happen after the election, either with a second Trump term or a Biden first.

Who will win? How is it likely to happen? What matters in the last two weeks? What would a contested election and a transition look like? And how would that affect the management of the pandemic? Andy calls the one political expert who can help answer these questions: Rahm Emanuel, the former mayor of Chicago and President Obama's first chief of staff. Hear the inside baseball and see who needs a hug after this. 

Keep up with Andy on Twitter @ASlavitt and Instagram @andyslavitt.
