An Explosive Report, Then a Bombshell Diagnosis: The "Original Sin" Authors on Biden's 2024 Decision

On this episode, executive editor Claire Howorth and Hive editor Michael Calderone sit down with CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’s Alex Thompson, authors of the bombshell political book, “Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again.” The authors discuss new revelations behind Biden’s fateful decision, including the roles of his family and close advisers, and why Democrats—and the news media—need to reckon with the bungled candidacy.
