Summary
First, they dive into the biggest news of the weekend: Biden is dropping out of the 2024 presidential race. Jim raises his eyebrows at the troubling fact that Biden has not made any public appearances since the news came out, and wonders what kind of state the president is in. They also explain how Biden's decline was obvious for a long time, and Democrats only dumped him because they were finally convinced he would lose.
Next, they mull over the political future of Vice President Harris, whom Biden and many other prominent Democrats have now endorsed, with a few notable holdouts. Jim thinks that her future is much more secure as a running mate, and that if she loses, her political career is as good as over.
Finally, they go over the multitude of responses to the news from Republicans, from jabs that Kamala will be easier to beat to calls for Biden to step down immediately. Jim emphasizes the need for Biden to resign, and cautions against assuming Kamala will be easy to beat.
