Topics include: How and when Joe Biden would go about dropping out; if his delegates can rebel against him if he doesn’t; whether or not he can choose a successor; how exactly an open convention would unfold in Chicago; and what she thinks the public’s reaction will be if the Democratic nominee for president is chosen by a handful of party insiders in smoke-filled back rooms. Eugene Daniels is a Playbook co-author for POLITICO. Elaine Kamarck is a scholar at Brookings Kara Tabor is a producer for POLITICO audio. Alex Keeney is a senior producer for POLITICO audio.
