Those were the dual messages of the first night of the Democratic convention from former Republican governor of Ohio John Kasich and progressive firebrand Sen. Bernie Sanders.

There was a heavy focus on the pandemic, including a powerful speech from Kristin Urquiza, the daughter of a Trump supporter who died after contracting the virus.

And, Michelle Obama wants people to make a plan about how they'll cast a ballot.

This episode: White House correspondent Tamara Keith, campaign correspondent Asma Khalid, and senior political editor and correspondent Ron Elving.
