"I think the calendar process now is an insurance policy for many in the establishment side of the Democratic Party to say, listen, even if he doesn't, we feel like we've got a stacked deck," says Tom Perez. "The person that we choose that we like will probably win ... Kamala Harris would be my odds on favorite."
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.
