00:00Look, all this stuff about his health or, you know, commentary that people are making in books,
00:05frankly, that's very backward looking.
00:08I think the one thing that I would say is that certainly either he needed to be the Democratic nominee
00:14as he promised he would be, or he needed to drop out before the Democratic primaries, right?

00:29so people can see you operate, they get to know you during a set of primaries.
00:33Remember, when he dropped out, when Biden dropped out and essentially asked Kamala Harris to step up,
00:39which was the right thing to do if he's going to step away, people didn't know who she was.
00:44And with 108 days left, it was near impossible for her to introduce herself.
