Harris v Trump: The state of the US election as the race heats up

The US election race is heating up. 

A month ago, after the Republican National Convention and a failed assassination attempt, it seemed like Donald Trump would be unstoppable.

Instead, US President Joe Biden pulled out of the race, anointing his Vice President Kamala Harris as hir successor, and a triumphant Democratic National Convention showed a party prepared to hold onto the White House.

So what is the state of the race, and their parties?

Today on The Front Page, we’re joined from Detroit by CBS News campaign reporter Jake Rosen for the latest on the election to watch this year.
