I think we are all missing in the end that this election certainly at the beginning is still

going to be dominated by old white people.

And a lot of those old white people have email and probably don't mind giving 5 10 bucks and you know

there's something attractive if you're a senior citizen a fixed income of participating in

the political process and sending five dollars of a few money to your candidate of

choice knowing that actually nowadays it might make a difference so you know there could be a

surprise here

all right and welcome listeners we have already started the newest edition of Politico's

nerd cast. I'm your host Scott Bland. I'm on the line today with

Politico's National Correspondent Mark Caputo. Hi Mark.

Hey, how you doing Scott? I'm great. And we are talking about the latest

entrant in the 2020 presidential race, former Vice President Joe Biden.

That's what our first topic is this week on the nerdcast. Biden is in the umpteenth, actually I think the 20th Democrat in the presidential

field.

We're going to talk about why he's running, what the campaign might look like, and what we're

going to be looking out for in this first week, month,

uh, next 18 months of this presidential campaign.

Plus we're going to talk a little bit more about things getting nasty between the

White House and Democrats in Congress

when it comes to congressional oversight of the administration.

As always, we are taping this a little bit before noon Eastern on Thursday.

Today that's April 25th, so it's all up to date as of then.
