Summary

Amanda sits down with author, political commentator, and Daily Beast editor at large Molly Jong-Fast to check on the somewhat sorry state of the Democratic primary. Molly discusses her recent op-ed for the Washington Post titled “Joe Biden did this to himself. And to the rest of us,” in which she makes the case for why Biden might never have been the “electable” candidate so many dreamed of, and might be the spoiler that mangles the race for everyone else. We also check in on the general state of the race and consider an alternate reality where Biden never even entered in the first place. Finally, they discuss Bloomberg’s late entry and surge in the polls, and consider a few nightmare and best-case scenarios for the Democratic Convention in July. Thanks to our sponsors!
