That's when the fireworks really started as Bret asked Harris about the fact roughly half of U.S. voters want Trump back in the White House. As he put it to her, "Are they misguided the 50 percent? Are they stupid?"

It's not Trump and Vance, or Harris and Walz grabbing all the attention in Washington, D.C. ... instead, it's Bao Li and Qing Bao -- the new giant pandas at the National Zoo.

The duo arrived in style Tuesday -- flying private, on a FedEx cargo jet, from China ... and as soon as they got to their new home, they got the celeb treatment. News choppers tracked their journey from the airport ... and the zoo released video of them settling into their enclosure.

The reason folks lined up outside the zoo hoping to catch just a glimpse of Bao and Qing is because the zoo's been panda-less for a year now. Last fall the National Zoo sent its last 3 pandas back to China, and no one knew when, or if, it would get any back.

MAGA MUSIC???

Donald Trump holding a town hall in Pennsylvania with 3 weeks to go before the election makes sense -- but spending more than half an hour swaying to music, instead of taking questions from voters ... well, that's a different story.

Maybe the former president's just feeling so confident about his chances in the crucial battleground state that he thought a dance party was more effective than addressing the crowd that gathered Monday evening in Oaks, PA -- but there he stood, dropping all of his meme-tastic moves.

For a mind-boggling 39 minutes, Trump grooved -- swayed, really -- to a weird playlist ... including "Ave Maria," "Time to Say Goodbye," "Hallelujah" and "Nothing Compares 2 U." Hardly upbeat disco hits.
