News Brief: Biden Quits, Harris Rises

It's Joever!  But there's no way to pun 'Kamala Harris' with 'beginning'.  There just isn't.  So we're probably fucked, as usual.

In another News Brief episode, hot on the heels of the last one for some unfathomable reason, Daniel and Jack - both mired in mixed feelings - chat about Biden quitting the 2024 Presidential race, Joe 'cheese pizza' Biden himself, the immediate 'annointing' of Vice President Kamala Harris as his replacement on the Dem ticket, the Dems being effective (if cynical) for once, Trump (again), the assassination attempt (again), J.D. "couch and/or dolphin fucker" Vance (again), Project 2025, some of the Right's first attempts to find a line of attack on Harris... 

All that junk.

P.S. Jack only just realised he unwittingly plagiarised the term 'News Brief' from the Citations Needed podcast.  Please don't sue.  And if you do, sue Daniel.
