Summary

BuzzFeed News reporter Katherine Miller and CNN senior writer and analyst Harry Enten debrief about the past week of Democratic politics and how the stunning developments have been framed by the news media. Joe Biden's victories were due "in part because people really wanted clarity in the field," Miller says: "People have found the news cycles very chaotic and the primary overall pretty chaotic." Miller, Enten and Brian Stelter discuss Biden's "earned media tsunami;" the limited power of fast-moving primary polling; and a sudden "sense of loss" over what had to this point been a historically diverse pool of candidates.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
