On The World As I Like It To Be podcast we complete our pre debate review for Thursday’s debate. We covered in our last podcast reports Joe Biden may be looking to step down as president after one term. The former vice president has since pushed back on that. None of this is helpful for his campaign.
Meanwhile Mayor Pete looks the stave off Elizabeth Warren’s attack against him by releasing the names of the businesses he consulted with in his younger years. The mayor also has agreed to allow the media into fundraising events.
On the debate stage Warren is sure to be standing next to or near the mayor and he has continued to focus incoming fire on the senator. For her part, Warren has begun hitting both the mayor and former vice president for their connection to wealthy donors.
On our last podcast we discussed the Bernie blackout. In this episode I believe senator Klobuchar is in a similar condition and so do others. The Minnesota democrat is rising in the polls and the media appears to be ignoring it.
Emerson College (which Fivethirtyeight gives an A-) has seen her Iowa polling enter double digits for the first time. And Klobuchar has managed to keep herself in the game to the chagrin of many.
And contrary to what was said on the podcast, the inclusion of Andrew Yang means this debate will not be all white (which is great).
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has made the extraordinary decision to grant Donald Trump a hearing . The president has asked the high court to block Congress from seeing his tax returns.
The stunning outcome of the case will be made known in June, well after the impeachment trial has completed. WIll the Trump supreme court justices protect the president?
