Inside the 2024 Digital Battle

A new poll shows Vice President Kamala Harris with a three-point lead over former President Donald Trump. Ravi kicks off the show by delving into the latest data and what it reveals about shifting dynamics in key battleground states. He also examines how independent Dan Osborne could shake up the Nebraska Senate race, whether Elon Musk’s appearance at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania this weekend will boost Trump’s standing, and how Harris’s decision to engage with alternative media like the ‘Call Her Daddy’ podcast has resonated with voters.

Next, Ravi is joined by Kyle Tharp from FWIW, a weekly newsletter that breaks down the digital strategies shaping elections. They explore how social media, digital ads, and online fundraising have transformed the presidential race and the ways the campaigns have strategically leveraged platforms like TikTok and Facebook. They also explore the rise of online misinformation and how it could influence the election.
