This is the Tom Hartman program.

Welcome back.

As we discuss, unavoy

there's other things I think we should discuss.

I actually think there are discussions about local legislative battleground states.

I state legislative battleground states that have as much relevance based on our ability

to influence them as just by anything else but it is inevitable that we're

talking about who should be and who will be ultimately the

president's nominee coming out of the Democratic National Convention and

Professor Nicholas Grossman, Political Science Professor University

Illinois, has come out with a recent article, Election Politics, and how and why

Kamala Harris could beat Donald Trump.

Seems germane given that some people are thinking there ought to be a different

candidate than Biden.

It might or might not be a productive focus of the conversation forever, but it is some of the conversation

right now.

So Professor Grossman, thank you so much.

Make the case.

First thing just is apparent that the issues with

Biden's age and concern about possible age-related decline

have gotten to be such a big conversation

that it's not going away without some sort of resolution.
