Listen Later

Matter of Opinion is off this week, but the news hasn’t stopped. So this week we’re bringing you something from columnists across New York Times Opinion. With President Biden’s candidacy in question, we asked them: Who would you like to see as the Democratic nominee? These are their answers.

  • Lydia Polgreen on the case for Vice President Kamala Harris
  • Nicholas Kristof on the case for Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan
  • Ross Douthat on the case for Senator Joe Manchin
  • Pamela Paul on the case for Gov. Wes Moore of Maryland
  • David French on the case for Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania
  • Charles Blow on the case for President Biden

(A full transcript of this episode will be available within 24 hours of publication on the Times website.)

If your opinion has changed on President Biden since the debate, we want to hear from you, too. What do you hope to see happen before the Democratic convention? Leave us a voice mail at 212-556-7440 or email us at [email protected]
