A DC insider on the post-debate pathway for Democrats
Joe Biden and Donald Trump’s debate in Atlanta was always going to be one for the history books. Never before had a general election debate occurred before the party conventions officially named them as their presidential nominees. But following a debate performance that even President Biden conceded was not his best, the most historical aspect of the debate was how many Democrats want to take advantage of the early debate timing and change their nominee altogether.
If Democratic primary votes already occurred, what’s the process for Democrats changing their candidate? Which Democrats will be the most influential in deciding Joe Biden’s future? Beyond Vice President Kamala Harris, who are Democrats to watch as potential successors?
USSC Non-Resident Fellow
Lester Munson, a DC insider with extensive experience in the legislative and executive branches of government, speaks with Research Director
Jared Mondschein on the potential pathways forward for an increasingly uncertain Democratic ticket.
