b'We received thousands of questions in response to last week\\u2019s audio essay arguing that Democrats should consider choosing a candidate at August\\u2019s D.N.C. convention. Among them: Is there any chance Joe Biden would actually step down? Would an open convention be undemocratic? Is there another candidate who can bridge the progressive and moderate divide in the party? Doesn\\u2019t polling show other candidates losing to Donald Trump by even larger margins? Would a convention process leave Democrats enough time to mount a real general election campaign?\\n\\nIn this conversation, I\\u2019m joined by our senior editor Claire Gordon to answer these questions and many more.\\n\\nMentioned:\\n\\n\\u201cDemocrats Have a Better Option Than Biden\\u201d by Ezra Klein\\n\\n\\u201cHere\\u2019s How an Open Democratic Convention Would Work\\u201d with Elaine Kamarck on The Ezra Klein Show\\n\\nThoughts?
