The Democratic National Convention is coming up on Monday, and the Dems may need it after a rough week. The introduction of Tim Walz as Kamala's running mate hit a few snags with some pretty rough stories making the rounds — even in the liberal media. Some people are even starting to wonder if the Dems will swap him out. Meanwhile, Kamala's feeling the heat to start answering some tough questions and lay out her policies, and the polls are hinting that the honeymoon phase might be close to over.
