Summary: Should the Vice President stay and run for the presidency, or he should go? That’s the trending topic of discussion that Ben takes up with Jonathan Martin of The New York Times. With a finger to the pulse of both party’s primaries, Martin explains that the “conventional wisdom has been upended this year.” As Donald Trump leads the Republican pack and socialist Bernie Sanders draws the largest crowds, the national political correspondent says the Vice President’s team must be asking, “why wouldn’t Biden have an opening?” Later, Governor Jim Gilmore joins the program to outline his vision for the presidency. He tells Ben that he’s running because, “I believe the country is in decline, and I think I can reverse that decline.”
