Your Questions on Open Conventions, a Gaza Schism and Biden’s Chances
Manage episode 402525606 series 2858887
We received thousands of questions in response to last week’s audio essay arguing that Democrats should consider choosing a candidate at August’s D.N.C. convention. Among them: Is there any chance Joe Biden would actually step down? Would an open convention be undemocratic? Is there another candidate who can bridge the progressive and moderate divide in the party? Doesn’t polling show other candidates losing to Donald Trump by even larger margins? Would a convention process leave Democrats enough time to mount a real general election campaign?
In this conversation, I’m joined by our senior editor Claire Gordon to answer these questions and many more.
Mentioned:
“Democrats Have a Better Option Than Biden” by Ezra Klein
“Here’s How an Open Democratic Convention Would Work” with Elaine Kamarck on The Ezra Klein Show
