The Mincing Rascals 7.24.24: Biden steps aside, VP candidates, Sonya Massey shooting


Listen Later

The Mincing Rascals this week are John Williams of WGN Radio, Austin Berg of the Illinois Policy InstituteCate Plys, former staff writer at the Chicago Reader, and political op-ed columnist at the Sun-Times and Tribune, and political pundit Marj Halperin! This week, the Rascals start the podcast talking about President Biden announcing on Sunday that he would not run for another term. Where were the Rascals when they heard the news? Is Vice President Harris the right person to run against Donald Trump? And who do the Rascals believe Harris will pick to be her running mate? And speaking of running mates, the Rascals discuss the choice of JD Vance to be Trump’s running mate. Do the Rascals believe Vance was the right choice to join the ticket? Next, the Rascals discuss the fatal shooting of Sonya Massey by Sangamon County Sheriff’s Deputy Sean Grayson inside her Springfield, Illinois home. Austin believes this officer was clearly unfit to be a police officer. What do the other Rascals think of how the officer involved in the shooting acted?
