The pageantry and ecstatic 'vibe' of last month's Democratic National Convention (DNC), in which Kamala Harris was certified the party's presidential nominee, belied a dark reality: American Jewish voters, once home among Democrats, are now politically homeless. That's the view of Peter Savodnik, a Washington-based journalist and senior editor for The Free Press. Peter reported on the DNC and the Republican National Convention (hello, Hulk Hogan and Kid Rock) and is increasingly troubled by what he sees on the left and the right.
Tami and Dash caught up with Peter to get his take on the DNC, Harris's posture towards Israel and the war in Gaza, and an answer to a question that's been bugging Tami for weeks: what does Julia Louis-Dreyfus smell like?
