Dan Pfeiffer and Producer Caroline Reston dive into the latest polling following Joe Biden dropping out of the race and Kamala Harris emerging as the presumptive Democratic nominee. What groups is she gaining? How does her favorability rating changed? And where does she match up against Trump in the polls?

And she's off! Kamala Harris has clinched the majority of delegates, she's breaking fundraising records and driving voter registration, and she's out on the trail offering a clear contrast to Donald Trump and his dark vision for America. Tommy and guest host Ali Velshi dissect Harris's campaign rollout, the shifting dynamics of the race, and Benjamin Netanyahu's polarizing address to Congress.

In a historic moment in what was already a norm-shattering campaign, Joe Biden withdraws from the presidential race and endorses Kamala Harris. As the rest of the party moves to unite behind the VP, Jon, Lovett, Dan, and Tommy talk how Biden arrived at his decision, the particular strengths that Harris brings to the race against Donald Trump, and how the GOP will look to blunt the new burst of Democratic energy and excitement.

Is Biden inching toward dropping out, or is he committed to staying put? If he did make a move, when would he do it, and how?
