And Monday, President Trump delivered his closing message in front of the Reflecting Pool.

“Radio Atlantic” host Adam Harris talks to the Atlantic staff writers David A. Graham and Gabby Deutch about the symbolism of that—and how anti-corruption messages are resonating with voters in the homestretch.
