Episode notes
President Joe Biden has announced his withdrawal from the presidential race, significantly altering the dynamics of the upcoming election against Republican nominee Donald Trump. This decision follows a lackluster debate performance, prompting many Democrats to urge Biden to step down from his bid for a second term. Biden has thrown his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris, who is now committed to securing the party's nomination. What does this mean for the Democratic National Convention next month? Michael Gerhardt, UNC Professor of Constitutional Law, joins Jeff Hamlin to explore the next steps for the Democratic Party and the broader implications for the election.
