Hi, I'm Mike Papantonio, and this is America's Lawyer. President Biden dropped out of the presidential race on Sunday, and Vice President Harris immediately took control of the campaign. But Democrats may want to slow down before they anoint Harris as the candidate, according to the numbers. Wall Street's trying to cash in on asbestos lawsuits, and we'll explain their dirty scheme to get rich and deny victims what they're owed. And Republicans, well, they're saying that President Biden has to resign from office after dropping out of the presidential race. All that and more. It's coming up. Don't go anywhere. America's Lawyer starts right now.

President Biden is officially out of the presidential race now, and Vice President Harris is likely to be the nominee without any pushback, but that's not what the Democratic Party needs right now and an open convention could be the key to victory in November. I've got Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins with me to talk about that. You know, big news, obviously. Of course, we were so criticized before saying he's gotta step down. He's gotta step down. It was absurd. The people, you know, he's my guy. He's fine. No, he wasn't fine. And now he steps down, does the right thing for this country. And I think that's what everybody's, they're not really talking about what a big step that was for this country, for him to do that. And I'm proud of him for doing it, frankly.

Yeah.

So now everybody's attention turns to Kamala Harris. Pick it up.

Yeah. So what we've seen, really in just the last few days is, well, really in the hours after Biden made the announcement, he then immediately endorsed Harris as the heir apparent. Then immediately all of the Democrats start coalescing around her and say, okay, she's gonna be the nominee. Who's gonna be the vp? They already moved on and accepted the fact that, nope, she's got it. She's our person. Now who's the vp? And so that's where the media immediately moved. But hold up now. We have time. We do not need to make any rash decisions. We do not have to say, yes, we're gonna do this, or no, we're not gonna do that. Can we at least, and this is what we talked about with Biden, can we at least for the love of God, have a conversation first? Before we make these massive decisions, let's think for just a second and the Democratic Party said, no, no, no, no. We're good to go. We got it.

It's not the way the Democratic Party or the Republican Party. The power that they wield over the American voters. Okay. And so now we've got this candidate that Trump is delighted to run against. And maybe you can make heads or tails of it. I don't. New York Times, she is least electable. New York Times, she's the most risky candidate. I'm not really seeing that right now. I think they have time, if this is their choice, they have time to make her competitive. If the numbers are right now, she's not even remotely competitive. But what's occurred here is that you had the Democrats really were threatening Biden with we're gonna vote the 25th Amendment here if you don't do something. We're gonna join the Republicans and you gotta step down. But it looked like this has been laid out in place for at least three to four weeks. Don't you think?
