Political Science Professor on Biden’s Decision to Withdraw from Presidential Race
Clinical Assistant Professor of Political Science Laura Tamman, PhD, spoke to News 12 Westchester on President Joe Biden’s decision to end his re-election campaign amid increased calls from his party to step aside since the presidential debate on June 27. “No one has run for office that been this old before, no one has run for office that has been a convicted felon before, and no one has withdrawn from the race this far in the process, “she said.
She believes this announcement was overdue. “I think there was pretty universal agreement the night of the debate what needed to happen.”
On the impact on voting in the Hudson Valley, she said, "I think the likely impact will be an increase in turn out, an increase in excitement and activity."
