Download Americanswers! Will Democrats force Joe Biden out? Who could take his place?
After last week’s presidential debate, Justin and Marianna discuss whether President Biden is likely to step down – or be forced to stand down – as the Democratic nominee. Who might replace him? Or if he stays, what are his chances of winning the election against Donald Trump? Justin and Marianna also answer questions on how the media covered Trump’s performance in the debate, and why many of his false claims were not fact checked.
GUESTS:
Miles Taylor, former chief of staff at Department for Homeland Security
HOSTS:
Justin Webb, Radio 4 presenter
Marianna Spring, Disinformation & Social Media Correspondent
