We are joined by Professor Sarah Churchwell, a writer and professor of American culture and humanities from the University of London, and from Blue River, Colorado, the broadcaster Mark McKinnon, who advised President George W Bush and Senator John McCain.
And something else that I think needs to be said, it’s worth saying that Mark and I are on very different sides of the political aisle normally, but I think we are in very strong agreement on this issue for this reason, which is that, I’ve been reading this described as the conservatives on the bench making this ruling. This is not a conservative ruling. This is a radical ruling. It’s an extremist ruling by any reasonable definition of that.
I think almost anybody with a pulse on the Democratic Party will be better. Nobody was excited about Joe Biden. 72% of the country, including Democrats didn’t think he was healthy enough to be running. I know people have concerns about Harris, but I think Harris will be, as just noted, stronger than Biden. And she’ll have a vice president if she’s at the top of the ticket then. It could be any number of people, but as I said, I think it’ll create a sense of enthusiasm, excitement.
