On this week’s Friday Focus, Janice and Rudyard start the show by reflecting on the DNC convention and Kamala Harris’s ability to speak to a generation of voters via social media. While she might be light on policy she’s heavy on “vibes” – will this help her in a race that is a lot tighter than people might realize? In the second half of the show Janice and Rudyard address the ongoing ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas and why much of Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s efforts over the past week have been a performative diplomatic relations exercise with the objective of getting through the DNC without any major strikes. Whether a deal is finally agreed upon will likely come down to the personal calculations of two men: Yahya Sinwar and Benjamin Netanyahu.
