DISCLAIMER: This episode was recorded on July 18th, the week before President Biden announced he would not run for reelection. Johanna Maska is back for pt. 2 of her conversation with Frank, this time talking all things Donald Trump, unlikely voters, and potential Democratic candidates. The episode starts out with a discussion of former President Trump and how his claims about President Biden gained credibility after Biden’s poor debate performance. This segues into a discussion on how crucial it is for both parties to capture unlikely voters come November, and why—no matter who wins—the office of the President should be respected and supported. Maska, who served as communications director in the Obama White House, offers a list of Democratic individuals who should be considered as potential candidates and running mates. It’s an increasingly relevant list as presumptive nominee Kamala Harris fleshes out her Party’s ticket. The two finish their conversation by emphasizing the importance of respectful debates and different perspectives in a healthy democracy.
