Shownotes Transcript

Political cartoonists and analysts Ted Rall (on the Left) and Scott Stantis (on the Right) react to a shocking development in the world of politics: President Joe Biden has finally, after weeks of intrigue and pressure from within the Democratic Party succumbed to concerns about his mental acuity and dropped out of the 2024 presidential campaign weeks before the Democratic National Convention. What happens next? Scott and Ted conduct a postmortem of what amounts to a coup d'etat and call for a serious investigation of who knew what when about Biden's mental state. They assess Vice President Kamala Harris' chances of securing the nomination for herself, who she will pick as her own running mate, how she will likely run her campaign and what could amount to a winning strategy against Donald Trump this fall.
