Ok, I'll Bite: Who...What...is a "Viable" Candidate?

In light of President Biden's decision to step down from the 2024 presidential race and endorse Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee, co-hosts Juan Diego Ramirez and Sara Sadhwani are exploring the concept of political viability. For a presidential candidate, what does it mean to be “viable? Showing mental and physical fitness? Meeting constitutional qualifications? Serving “brat” behavior? In this episode, Sara and JD discuss Biden's debate performance, Trump's legal challenges, and Harris's readiness as a candidate. And, ultimately, who or what decides a candidate's viability? The episode is co-hosted by political science professor Sara Sadhwani and multimedia journalist J.D. Ramirez.
