An Unconventional Convention

Subscribe to Beyond the Polls with Henry OlsenSubscribe

With Joe Biden's decision to drop out from the presidential race, the Democratic Party has been forced to improvise. But there's a method to what looks like madness! Joining Henry today is the Brookings Institution's Elaine Kamarck — author of Primary Politics: Everything You Need to Know about How America Nominates Its Presidential Candidates. Tune in for an in-depth discussion on the process that will straighten out the party's predicament.

Plus, Henry considers how Kamala Harris's placement on the ticket affects the "double haters" that have simultaneously fascinated and flummoxed pollsters; and he takes us through Wesley Bell's latest ad to get the attention of Cori Bush's base.

    Sorry, Henry. A man who reached through an officer's cruiser window, striking him hard enough to break bone, grabbed his gun, was grazed when the gun went off during the struggle, and later charged the officer on the street, that man was not "murdered".
