Description
What do democratic voters want? A candidate that will win! How will they
try to get it? By moving more to the center, probably! High voter
turnout in the primaries among Democrats is showing that there is
promise in backing centrist candidates at the top of the ballot. We
break down what happened during the primaries on Tuesday night, and what
we're expecting to see in the midterms and beyond. Plus: The heartland's
version of Costco and just a lil bit of Omarosa to top it off.

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
