As Democrats continue to quarrel over whether President Biden should step down from the ticket, we look back at a comparable moment in recent history. On today’s episode of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, hosts Bill Nigut and Tia Mitchell look back to 1980 when Maryland Democratic congressman Michael Barnes was among those who worked to replace President Jimmy Carter because they believed Carter, struggling with low appproval ratings and a myriad of national and international crises, could not beat Ronald Reagan. Barnes joins the podcast to discuss the 1980 Democratic convention, where there was a rebellion among some delegates looking to nominate Edward Kennedy for president. Michael Barnes joins the podcast.

Then, former Republican Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan abandoned Donald Trump and the MAGA wing of the Republican Party long ago. He raised GOP ire when he urged Republicans to vote for President Biden. But that happened just before Biden’s alarming debate performance. Now, Duncan appears to be a man without a candidate. He joins the podcast to discuss his most recent AJC column.
