Summary

Sarah and David are joined by Notre Dame law professor Derek Muller, who teaches “Presidential Nominations in a Time of Uncertainty,” to discuss the legality of swapping out (presumptive) party nominees, the potential consequences of doing so, and the complexity of state election laws at-large. The Agenda: —Can Kamala Harris inherit Joe Biden’s PAC money? —Will Republicans successfully keep Kamala off the ballot? —What’s up with Ohio? —Could Donald Trump replace J.D. Vance? —What does “natural-born citizen” mean? —Should political parties be state associations for primaries? —Should faithless electors be bound? —Campaign finance: restrictions, or no restrictions? Show Notes: —LaRouche v. FEC —Charles Spies’ “Biden Has 100 Million Reasons to Stay In” —Chiafolo et al. v.
