Description
First, Scott and POLITICO reporter Marc Caputo talk all things Joe
Biden. The former vice president finally announced that he's running for
president, becoming the 20th democrat to enter the race. Does Biden
stand a chance? Maybe. He could even be a front-runner.
Then, Anita Kumar and Sarah Ferris join Scott to talk about a fight
between the White House and 12 House committees. Basically, the White
House is refusing to give up documents requested by these House
committees. It seems like a big deal in the Beltway, but back home
things don't reflect that: topics like medicare concern constituents
more. Will these committees get anywhere? The gang attempts to break
down what‘s really happening.

America’s presidential debate boss thinks Biden upended tradition… and duped Trump: On Wednesday morning, Frank Fahrenkopf received a letter from the Biden presidential campaign that ruined his day. Fahrenkopf is co-chair of the Commission on Presidential Debates, which has produced 33 debates since 1988, the first election year it was in business. He was planning on four more this year: three with Biden and Trump as well as the quadrennial vice presidential debate. But the Biden campaign told Fahrenkopf that the president would not be participating in any of them. Instead, the Biden campaign announced that it would negotiate with the Trump campaign and individual media organizations to plan two debates outside of the Commission’s process. By the end of the day Biden and Trump were set to debate in June on CNN and in September on ABC. On this episode of Deep Dive, Fahrenkopf joins host and Playbook co-author Ryan Lizza to discuss the fall-out from this decision, including the roles by Playbook Deep Dive
