This week: Joe Biden’s decision to drop out of the presidential race, Kamala Harris clears the field as she rides a tidal wave of support to the top of the Democratic ticket , Republicans switch gears to campaign against her, and the dizzying narrative change about Joe Biden’s capacities that have devastated trust in media. 

Finally, in our exclusive Politicology+ episode we discuss the Secret Service Director resigning in the wake of the assassination attempt of Donald Trump and how the lack of transparency about the attack has allowed conspiracy theories to flourish.
