The Nation's John Nichols returns to Bad Faith to break down the avalanche of bad press Biden has been getting over the last week, including a viral article by Ian Chotiner in The New Yorker in which Dem strategist Simon Rosenberg tried to rage-quit the interview after being asked basic questions about Biden's bad polling. Nichols, a historian of American politics, walks us though nearly a century-worth of elections to assess what opportunities exist in this moment for the left: A challenge at the convention? A third party candidate? (N.B. -- we recorded prior to the news that Biden's nomination at the convention would be "virtual.")
