What's Really Going on in Portland, Explained

Riots have been ongoing in Portland for 62 consecutive days. What’s really going on? Should federal forces withdraw? Why hasn't Portland law enforcement been able to get this situation under control? Is it correct to characterize the violence we have seen occurring in Portland as a “myth” as House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler did this week? Lora Reis, a senior research fellow for homeland security at The Heritage Foundation, joins The Daily Signal Podcast to discuss.

We also cover these stories:

• President Trump suggested in a tweet that America may want to consider postponing the election in November due to COVID-19. 
• Trump told reporters that federal law enforcement was not on the cusp of leaving Portland.
