Jen, Tom and Faz: What was good about Biden's speech? Jen: He didn't have a big policy proposal that he was trying to sell health care. She says Joe Biden by nature is a peacemaker. The second point is that Joe Biden is old school; we all know this. And part of being old school is that I think sometimes his authenticity is not appreciated for what it is," she adds.
We discuss Biden's State of the Union speech — and the state of the Democratic party — with three of the party's savviest strategists: Bernie Sanders’s 2020 campaign manager Faiz Shakir, former White House Communications Director (and host of The Circus) Jennifer Palmieri, and Tom Bonier, the CEO of TargetSmart.
On the agenda: how Marjorie Taylor Greene's State of the Union heckling made President Biden shine, how Democrats have rallied in response to Trump, whether the party can win the narrative and wedge-issue wars...and, of course, if Biden is running in 2024.
