american history at george washington university brittany lewis an political analyst dr eyad was jones the weaver who's also a ph d. very good all right thank you both for coming on today. thanks for having me thank you so i want to start how do how does the decision of harris shape the biden campaign going forward most importantly does it does it secure him votes in november that he wasn't actually going to get before britney wanted to star. sure you know my direct personal thing and i got in at night that night a lot of hoopla mccleary had on the happy day that i i do believe unless there is what is his most strategic hit i think it showed biden's ability to play politics if you will i think that even more missed pressure on him to not only nickel woman but to be a black woman as. i think to not a black woman would have been political suicide and since white people specifically black women have been such an important base for the democratic party historically and were truly instrumental in getting bitin the nomination so you know not for all its specially the more progressive democrats or folks
