"At one point, Chotiner flatly stated, I'm not sure what you're saying: CHOTINER: You lay out very clearly why you think Donald Trump is a threat to democracy.

Karine Jean-Pierre announced her departure from the Democratic Party, citing what she calls a betrayal of Joe Biden by party leadership. She asserts that Democratic leaders mounted an all-out campaign to embarrass and push Biden out after a disastrous debate, leading to his July 2024 withdrawal from the race. Jean-Pierre defends Biden as a decent person who presided over an objectively good presidency. She wrote that the party’s pressure led to the nomination of Kamala Harris, who then lost to Donald Trump. Interviewer Isaac Chotiner challenged her about leaving the party amid concerns that Trump threatened democracy.
