Contrasting Perspectives on Biden and Trump

To unlock Politicology+ visit politicology.com/plus

This week, we discuss the spectacle of the continuing Democratic attacks on Joe Biden’s candidacy that ignore or misunderstand his path to victory.

We also show the contrast of Trump’s own top advisors seeming more concerned about the dark consequences of reelecting him than many Democrats.

Then, we talk about how Bidenworld can repair their credibility with reporters after his inner circle worked to keep the signs of his aging under wraps.

Finally, we head to Politicology+ where we discuss how conservative students benefit from liberal college campuses.
