What Went Down On Night 3 Of The DNC

It’s amazing, Geoffrey, how many issues I heard about from voters (a lot of them wanted to hear more about gun violence from the candidates!) that have just gotten totally wiped out by the pandemic. Remember when we were hearing a lot about a wealth tax? Or Trump’s immigration policies?

Segments tonight will focus on very broad policy areas: gun control, climate change, immigration. It’s a very 10,000-foot-view of policy, but it gives you a flavor for the party and the issues it cares about, which is pretty standard convention fare.

The parties are increasingly polarized by gun ownership and gun control attitudes, though the Republican Party united around the issue first.
