Summary
James and Al give their take on the growing news surrounding Biden’s health problems in the final days of his presidency and reemphasize why they were calling for a fresh face to represent the party before welcoming Congressman from PA, Brendan Boyle. They discuss the dangers of the Republican budget, lay out its failure to constrain costs in light of DOGE cuts, and highlight how it has also ignored the desires of the Republican electorate. Then, they delve into the best action items that Dems can focus on going forward, celebrate Philadelphia’s sports teams, and look at the bigger picture surrounding the intersection of sports and politics.
