## Resource

The primary election is on July 21 and with only a few days left, there are still major questions and contentious races that political professionals are keeping an eye on. The impact of Turning Point USA's backing, candidates aligning with artificial intelligence and major ad spending are all key factors that are leaving even the most in-tune politicos wondering. This week on The Gaggle, we are joined by two political strategists to talk about the big storylines, the big spenders and the big unknowns heading into primary night.
