Trump + Musk, Vance’s Rebound, Biden Reckoning

Ravi welcomes Tyler Austin Harper, contributing writer at The Atlantic and assistant professor at Bates College, to the podcast to discuss the 2024 presidential race. They cover everything from the continuing series of identity-based fundraisers like White Dudes for Harris and the need for the Harris-Walz campaign to define their policy positions to whether there’s truth in JD Vance’s claims that Democrats are anti-family. They also discuss the need for the Trump-Vance campaign to stay on message and why Trump could not do so during his conversation with Elon Musk on X Spaces. Finally, it’s been just over three weeks since Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race. Ravi and Tyler reflect on his decision, how the Biden team addressed concerns about his health and mental fitness, and why the public deserves an investigation into any cover-up of his alleged decline.
