Ezra Klein
一位深受欢迎的美国记者、政治分析师和《纽约时报》专栏作家，通过其《The Ezra Klein Show》podcast 探讨各种社会和政治问题。
Topics
Ezra Klein: 本期节目探讨了民主党在2024年总统大选中面临的困境，特别是围绕现任总统乔·拜登的去留问题。文章指出，尽管拜登在任期间取得了一些成就，但其年龄和在最近的总统辩论中的表现令人担忧。许多民主党人私下表达了对拜登的担忧，但由于担心更换候选人会带来更大的政治风险，以及缺乏其他强有力的候选人，他们选择保持沉默。文章分析了民主党内部的集体行动问题，以及党内缺乏对拜登进行有效监督和制衡的机制。作者认为，民主党应该更积极地探索其他候选人，以应对2024年大选的挑战，而不是仅仅依赖于拜登。文章还对比了共和党对特朗普的盲目支持，指出这种策略最终导致了一系列的失败，民主党不应该效仿。 加文·纽森: 民主党应该团结支持现任总统拜登，不应该临阵换将。他认为更换候选人于事无补，只会徒增混乱。民主党应该保持团结，全力支持拜登竞选连任。 蒂姆·沃尔兹: 沃尔兹的观点与纽森类似，他认为民主党不应该效仿共和党对特朗普的盲目支持，而应该团结一致支持拜登。
