Chapo Trap House - 852 – Do the Dew feat. Hasan Piker (7/23/24)

We’re joined by streamer Hasan Piker for an honestly unprecedented news round-up. Joe Biden is OUT of the Presidential race (and possibly dead??), and Kamala Harris is now the presumptive nominee. Mere days after avoiding getting his head blown off by millimeters, it appears Donald Trump has LOST the mandate of heaven. And Trump’s VP pick, as recently as last week a symbolic football-spike in a race presumed already won, is rapidly deflating when put in front of real people. All that plus Lord of the Rings and Aarons Sorkin reading series inside! Watch Hasan daily on Twitch at: https://www.twitch.tv/hasanabi Merch restocked at https://chapotraphouse.store/
