The biggest news of the week, of course, is that President Biden is stepping out of the presidential race, and he’s endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the new Democratic nominee.

How does this all change the game in our battleground state, both for the presidential election and state politics? We bring in Dr. John Kennedy, a political science professor at West Chester University, to discuss how the historic events of the past few weeks have affected the election outlook.
