Brexit Republic will be resuming normal service in the coming weeks, but listener, while we have you,

you might like to try another one of RT News' podcast offerings.

States of Mind is the US Election podcast with our correspondent in Washington, Brian O'Donovan,

and Foreign Desk reporter Jackie Fox.

For the Democrat Convention this week, there'll be double episodes as Brian O'Donovan heads to Joe Biden's hometown in Delaware.

In this episode, they contrast the virtual conventions of today with the pact halls of the past

with former Washington correspondent, now economics correspondent Robert Short, and they talk to Democrat Grandi, Howard Dean.

When we started out in this election, especially with the Democrats, beginning

the process to choose who their nomination would be, it would be safe to say that we were

expecting some serious drama with a crowded field of candidates. Many thought that the

clause would be out this week during the Democratic National Convention. Didn't exactly work out that way?

No, there will be virtual clause, I guess. Everything's virtual now. And actually, there'd be no

clause at all in the Democrats case. They're all united behind Joe Biden and Kamala Harris

for the nomination. But we won't be seeing balloons falling from the ceiling.

We won't be seeing big cheering crowds.

It will all be done over Zoom and it will all be virtual.

Oh, I'm so sick of Zoom at this stage, Brian.

And you're not going to get anyone talking to a chair over Zoom, are you?

What do you want me to tell Romney?

Like Clint Eastwood.

I can't tell him to do that.

Can't do that to himself.
