Summary
Bill Press joins Thom to survey the voting landscape in pandemic-stricken America.
And, could a Justin Amash libertarian ticket take votes from Biden and throw the election to Trump? If enough states cancel the Democratic primary could we see another candidate, like Andrew Cuomo? Does Biden need to pick a VP who can quickly hit the campaign trail? Who should be Biden's VP pick?
Thom's listeners join in the discussion from a diversity of backgrounds from across the country.
