Former swing-state congressman's advice for Harris & Walz

The third night of the Democratic National Convention featured speakers such as former President Bill Clinton and Oprah. It was designed to celebrate Governor Tim Walz and his formal acceptance of the Democratic VP nomination. The convention will conclude Thursday with a speech from Vice President Kamala Harris. But will the flashy presentations and emotional speeches be enough to convince voters to vote blue?

Former Congressman Patrick Murphy (D-PA) joins Catalysts to give insight what Harris and Walz will need to do to swing undecided voters.

Murphy lays out what will be necessary to get those votes: "You meet people where they are. And I thought that's what was so compelling about Tim Walz's speech last night. You know, he is saying this is going to be inch by inch, yard by yard...But that's what it's going to take to really convince folks who are undecided. The majority of Americans that will decide this race in those six swing states, like in my home state of Pennsylvania, will be the phone calls, the door knocking, the voter-by-voter that we need to do to win this race in 75 days."
