Biden Out. Harris In. What's Next?

President Biden has stepped down from his campaign and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as his successor. Congressman Jared Huffman of California supports this decision and believes it gives the Democratic Party a chance to win the upcoming election. He praises Biden for putting the country above his own ambition and securing his place in history. Huffman has worked with Harris in the past and believes she brings strength and authenticity to the party. He also addresses concerns about a coronation and believes there can still be a process to validate Harris as the nominee. Huffman mentions that many top-tier Democrats have already endorsed Harris and believes she has a good chance of winning the nomination. He also discusses potential running mates for Harris, including Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania and Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan. Huffman believes that Harris will be the nominee and that the election will be a choice between the past (Trump) and the future (Harris). He believes that Harris has a strong chance of winning and that the Republican Party is flailing in response to Biden's decision. Huffman also discusses the GOP's stance on issues like abortion and immigration and how it may impact the election. Jonathan Alter, a bestselling author and presidential historian, also joins the conversation and agrees that Harris has a good chance of winning. He believes that Trump may not want to debate Harris and that she could taunt him into doing so. Alter also discusses potential vice-presidential candidates for Harris and the importance of the upcoming Democratic convention. He praises Biden's legacy and believes he will be remembered as a consequential president.
