Host Jessica Levinson provides a thorough breakdown of what would happen if President Biden steps aside or is declared incapacitated. She explains the history and application of the 25th Amendment, highlighting its various sections and uses. Additionally, she discusses the procedural rules for selecting a new Democratic nominee should President Biden choose not to run.
