Lanhee is joined by long-time election lawyer Ben Ginsberg to talk about what could (but probably won’t) go wrong in this year’s election. They talk about everything from ballot harvesting to recounts in a effort to help us understand what is likely to transpire in the last two weeks before Election Day, and beyond.

Ahead of the first presidential debate this week, Lanhee is joined by Elaine Quijano of CBSN and CBS News, who moderated the general election VP debate in 2016. They discuss what it was like for her to moderate such a significant debate, how she prepared for the role, and how debates influence campaigns and elections.

Lanhee is joined this week by Zac Moffatt, the digital director of the 2012 Romney campaign and Founder of Targeted Victory, a leading digital media firm. Zac talks about some of the ways that the 2020 campaigns are using digital media and trends to watch for over the last several weeks before the election.

The re-launch of Crossing Lines features conversations with campaign insiders and veterans about the decisions that the major political campaigns will be making this Fall. Get a behind-the-scenes look at political conventions and what they mean with this week’s guest, Republican ad-man and strategist Russ Schriefer.

Lanhee sits down with new Congressional Budget Office director, Phill Swagel, to talk about his journey to the agency, what it does, and why people should care.  They also talk about the state of the economy and why trillion-dollar deficits are a problem.
