The national conversation has continued to pivot towards the political realm as President Donald Trump and presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden get ready to face each other in the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Now, a new HBO Max and CNN Films documentary, "On the Trail: Inside the 2020 Primaries," is set to give viewers an inside look at what covering the campaign trail is like for a variety of female reporters.

The political film, which marks the first of four unscripted projects from CNN Films to stream on HBO Max, will center around 10 female journalists at CNN and their experiences covering the 2020 presidential campaign.

As the election cycle moves into full swing, others have also been discussed regarding the role that they could potentially play, including "Stronger" rapper Kanye West. While one individual close to the Grammy Award-winner has stated that they would be his running mate, others have considered the "major obstacles" he would have to overcome to even appear on the ballot.

Additionally, a handful of politicians have also earned endorsements and support from surprising people prior to the public casting their votes on Nov. 3, including New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who never officially entered the race, and businessman Mike Bloomberg, who has since dropped out of the running.

"On the Trail: Inside the 2020 Primaries" will premiere on Aug. 6.
