This edition: Biden's Burdens

Episode Details

Original tape date: May 13, 2020. First aired: May 15, 2020.

Segment one: No rallies, no hand shaking, no back slapping. The Coronavirus is forcing Joe Biden to do without the traditional campaigning he loves and run for president from his basement. Can he break through against Donald Trump running a virtual campaign? Meanwhile, what will be the impact of allegations by former Senate staffer Tara Reade of a decades old sexual assault by Biden?  Three Top New York Times political reporters weigh in: Trip Gabriel, Katie Glueck and Reid Epstein.

Segment two: Donald Trump is trying to change the political conversation from the pandemic to the economy. Can that strategy work when there are well over a million cases of Covid 19 and with a death toll that seems sure to exceed 100,000? And will he go along with an aid package to help states like New York that have been financially crushed by the pandemic? We get the inside view from New York Times Chief White House correspondent Peter Baker.
