Rep. Lauren Underwood (29x87)

Air date: Aug 20, 2024

The Daily Show is in Chicago for the DNC. Desi Lydic recaps the biggest moments of night one, including Hillary Clinton's crowd breaking into a familiar chant, conservatives obsessing over Kamala Harris's smile, and Joe Biden giving an energetic speech that went way past everyone's bedtimes. Plus, Troy Iwata hunts for the perfect "Thank You" card for Biden. "If we want to make sure that we can all access high-quality, comprehensive healthcare, including reproductive healthcare, we have to go vote." Lauren Underwood, representative of Illinois's 14th District and co-founder of the Black Maternal Health Caucus, sits down with Desi Lydic in Chicago to discuss speaking at the DNC on opening night, her experience working closely with Kamala Harris to address and advance maternal healthcare with the Momnibus Act, the key to combating the anti-woman policy agenda of conservatives like JD Vance, and the parallels between her work and her favorite reality show.
