Again. And good evening, welcome to politicsnation. Tonights lead, up close and personal. Right now, im reflecting on my exclusive interview this week with Vice President Kamala Harris who i joined at the white house this week ahead of two events. The 60th Anniversary of the March On Washington, which i will be leading with ronald came the third and his beautiful active wife that on august 26th i will be meeting with them as head of National Action network. And andrea waters, came head of the drum major institute. And then of course, the other event is the 2024 election. Just 15 months away.

Conversation with gun safety activist david hogg. A caught up with him on the mall, to discuss the plague of gun violence ands latest chapter on right here on nbc.
