Episode notes

No final decision has been made at the moment, but all signs are pointing to him running for re-election. The midterms will be a major test for how animated Democrats are over the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Joe Biden was approached as somebody who could be a conciliatory candidate if Jimmy Carter and Ted Kennedy bruised themselves so badly in the primary,. That didn't end up happening.

A meme that mocks President Biden has been transformed by supporters to celebrate his recent wins. But questions about whether he should run for reelection remain. The Washington Post's Matt Viser explains.

This episode was produced by Miles Bryan and Jon Ehrens, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Paul Robert Mounsey, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
