The outlet, which describes itself as Pennsylvania’s only African American-owned and operated radio station, also said the White House’s decision to supply questions to Lawful-Sanders prolonged a historical practice of marginalizing and “de-legitimizing Black voices” in US media.

“Lawful-Sanders was one of two battleground state radio hosts who aired an interview with Biden on 4 July and described being given questions by the president’s staff ahead of the conversation.”

    Regardless, the optics at the moment are harmful. I mostly appreciate the job Joe has done, but I’m starting to come around on a Kamala candidacy.

    If he resigned from the Presidency now, for personal reasons, that would be nothing but respected by almost all Americans. Kamala would become President, and be running as the incumbent trying to continue his policies and direction into the next term.

    She may not poll well at the moment, but that could be worked on.

      The election is in ~3 months (doesn’t seem like it given our 3 year election cycles, but it is). I’m hesitant to add any more chaos to this already chaotic election.

        Better to add more “chaos” than to bet the future of the world on an already losing candidate who’s only digging the hole deeper every time he reaffirms his commitment to not listen to the people he’s supposed to represent.

      Agree he should just resign and go spend the last couple years of his life doing whatever it is he does for fun rather than sitting in the Oval Office and having his brain continue to rot.

      But eh, I don’t see there being a single chance for Kamala to actually win.
