Rory putting up his hand was funnier than it should have been 😂

The scale of identity politics on both sides of the political spectrum in the US is quite shocking, imagine deciding your vote based on an immutable characteristic of nature, rather than the actual policies that person supports, or the quality of their character?!

🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️ - Rory in the whole episode

Rory trying to prove hes got bigger hands than Trump 😂

So sad that in 2024 race and sex are still the key voting factors not policies or even content of character...

Rory Stewart must have some carbon footprint; every time I catch this podcast he’s in a different country.

Y'all are misreading Obama. He strongly believes he should not endorse until AFTER a nominee is chosen. His statement today was about Joe Biden and not a comment on who should replace Joe on the top of the ticket.

I didnt like either trump or biden but im so happy that Biden can now retire. Seeing him up on atage was painful. I felt bad for him. I hope he has a long retirement.

My reaction to Obama waiting is he didn't want to be seen as the orchestrator

Speaking as a UK observer, Harris is a virtual unknown quantity. She gets very little coverage in the media outside the US. Any chance of a more in-depth 'special' on her, especially if she gets the job.

I wonder with Kamala if we will be able to see what can be... and be unburdened by what has been

[pwood]

I am a bit baffled by the race obsession in USA.Obama was half black and half white..but was referred to as black or african american.Harris is half southeast asia(indian) and half jamaican...but she is "African" american.so weird and confusing.

[edwin]

Rory so shocked about the news he reverted to primary school 😂

I was gardening so a bit late to the news. Came straight here for Katty and Mooch and found all four of you. Even better. Thanks guys. Politics seems to have leap-frogged over itself this month.

Love hearing all your thoughts.

Pete Buttigieg is brilliant, he’d be such a strong addition to the ticket. Best communicator in US politics right now.

[Michael-ntrp]

With Biden out, Trump looks and sounds and acts obsolete. Country needs to move on without these two old men. Country needs new blood and fresh ideas to solve humongous internal problems.

[williamhicken]

"Trump doesn't like smart people." Love it.

[Rurik]

I want to high-five Rory every time he puts his hand up ! Great guy - brilliant mind.

[robertcook]

Excellent thank you all. The world feels so much better tonight.

[wormsnake]

Campbell and Stewart are the Neville and Carragher of political analysis.

Bloody brilliant. 👌💥.x
