And I expected that a floor fight in Chicago is what the GOP wanted (because the Ds wouldn’t recover) and what the press wanted (feel-good coronations don’t draw eyeballs or win Pulitzers).

I felt we had a chance with Biden, though it was risky, and that there was still plenty of room for a blow-up on the R side. I didn’t trust the Democratic leadership and the Democrat party regulars to not screw up a replacement. It’s not that I didn’t trust Kamala—I didn’t think she’d be given a chance.
