Biden Time: The President Seeks to Regain Footing 10 Days After Debate Debacle
Listen now
Description
Jen Psaki breaks down the current state of play within the Democratic party, as President Joe Biden digs in against growing pressure to withdraw from the race. Jen is joined by political reporters Peter Baker and Mark Leibovich to discuss Biden's path forward and whether more lawmakers might call on him to drop out as they return to Capitol Hill this week. Next, Jen is joined by Quentin Fulks, Biden-Harris 2024 principal deputy campaign manager, to reflect on inner-circle conversations among donors and staff in the days since Biden's shaky debate performance. Jen is also joined by Cook Political Report Publisher and Editor-in-Chief Amy Cook to discuss the most recent presidential polling, including where VP Kamala Harris stands in a hypothetical matchup against Donald Trump. Later, Jen debunks Trump's claims that he knows nothing about Project 2025, and why the American people should not forget that these are indeed his far-right plans for a second term. Finally, legal experts Andrew Weissmann and Neal Katyal join the show to discuss the Supreme Court's presidential immunity decision, including how it may embolden Trump in a second term and what it means for his remaining criminal cases.
