Chaos in the Biden Camp with Axios's Alex Thompson

07/11/24 • 26 min

Axios National Political Correspondent Alex Thompson joins The Lobby Shop crew for a conversation about what comes next for Team Biden and the Democratic party four months out from the 2024 election. Alarm bells continue to ring weeks after Biden's disastrous first presidential debate. With calls for Biden to step aside echoing from Capitol Hill to Hollywood, TLS cohosts Liam Donovan, Josh Zive, Caitlin Sickles, and Paul Nathanson ask Alex if and how Biden and his team can tamp down panic. Alex, who has reported consistently on questions of Biden's age and fitness, brings a valuable perspective on the mood inside Biden world (hint: disillusioned and demoralized) and whether a plan B is even possible.
