Cheatle Resigns, Kamala Uncontested, Dems Ghost Netanyahu

Subscribe to 3 Martini LunchSubscribe

Today, Jim and Greg discuss Kim Cheatle's resignation as director of U.S. Secret Service, the swift ascendance of Kamala Harris as the Democrats' nominee, and Biden & Harris can't be bothered to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on his visit to the U.S.

First, they toast a good martini to Cheatle's resignation after a disastrous performance before the House Oversight and Accountability Committee. Jim sees some clear parallels between her resignation and President Biden stepping down from his campaign.

Next, they observe how Vice President Harris successfully cleared the field to be the next presidential nominee, securing the endorsement of top Democrats and a majority of DNC delegates. Greg points out the irony in how quickly the party of "defending democracy" was to shut down any chance of a robust primary.

Finally, they talk about Prime Minister Netanyahu's visit to the United State and how neither Biden nor Harris seem to have any time for him. Jim points out the impropriety of this and says it only adds to questions about who is running the country right now.
