Where Democrats Go After Biden

President Biden was out (www.nytimes.com/2024/07/21/us/politics/biden-drops…) of the 2024 presidential race.
Shortly after making that announcement, he threw his support behind his vice president, Kamala Harris, to be the next Democratic nominee.
Mr. Biden had finally fulfilled his promise to be a bridge to the next generation — albeit under enormous pressure.
Ms. Harris issued a statement later in the day, saying that she was honored to have received President Biden’s endorsement and that she intends to “earn and win” the nomination.
Today, in a special episode of The Run-Up, a top democratic donor discusses what ultimately toppled the Biden campaign and a colleague gives us an inside look at where Democrats go next.
On today's show:
Robert Wolf, a Democratic donor
Reid Epstein (www.nytimes.com/by/reid-j-epstein) , a politics correspondent for The New York Times.

Nobody voted Harris into her VP position
-
I know I'm in the minority, but I am legitimately excited to be living through this incredibly unique moment In American history
-
These donors need to be put in prison. Absolutely ridiculous that they have any influence at all in our republic.
-
We better choose someone besides Harris. No sane person thinks she's a good candidate.
-
Americans don't want a very old man as president. That statement is true for both Biden and Trump. Yes Biden stepping down was a series of shit shows but the DNC is switching to someone younger from a different generation and the enthusiasm around that is not to be underestimated.

The vision of seeing Harris win on election night on stage and seeing Biden come out and stand next to her holding up his hand in celebration would go down history!!
