Welcome back to That's the Ticket of Potsative American Midi Series

where we explore what goes into the vice presidential selection process.

I'm Dan Fyfer.

And I'm Alyssa Master of Monaco.

On last week's episode, we dug into the vetting and announcement process.

My everything has kept so secret.

If you missed that episode, you can go take a listen in the Potsative American feed,

which you obviously know where to find to truly see into this right now.

Today, we're going to focus on Joe Biden's announcement that he will pick a woman,

how it has changed the vice presidential selection process,

and how the candidacies of Jodyne for our in Sarah Palin got us to where we are today.

We were also going to talk to New York Magazine in the cut right here Rebecca Tracer,

about Biden's decision in what obstacles the nominee will face for the video.

Next week, we're going to talk about how the protests over systemic racism

and the coronavirus pandemic are impacting Biden's decision-making process,

as well as the push for Biden to choose a black woman as his running mate.

I also talked to 538 writer Perry Bacon Jr.

about what the polling is telling us about who Biden should choose

and the impact of past vice presidential selections on the election.

Alyssa, before we get into it, how you doing?

Buddy, I'm great. How are you?
