Joe Biden: The Deliberation
Listen now
Description
In a follow-up bonus episode to former Vice President Joe Biden's endorsement interview, the board deliberates his visit. Some were relieved, while others were disappointed. They question whether he understands the anger of the moment, and his selective invocations of the Obama administration. Then, board member Lauren Kelley gives an explainer of the Hyde Amendment, Joe Biden’s electoral baggage around it, and why this is the most precarious moment for reproductive rights since 1973. Find the unabridged and annotated transcript of Biden's visit to the board at nytimes.com/endorsements. Produced by At Will Media.
