@Center4Politics director @LarrySabato joined @CNN's @Acosta to discuss the uncertainty surrounding President Biden's campaign: "There really is no good answer. And they (Democrats) are trying to figure out a way to get back to where they were... which was just barely behind."
With hours to go before the first presidential debate, @Center4Politics director @LarrySabato joins @CNN to preview the debate and discuss what he sees as a “toss-up” race right now.
Is TV an appropriate venue for presidential debates? Listen below as the question was debated before a U.S. Senate Communications Subcommittee in 1960. Jack F. Christie is testifying before the Committee on behalf of Paul Butler, then-Chair of the Democratic National Committee. Several Senators were skeptical, believing that TV would give an "underdog" candidate an undeserved advantage against an incumbent.

The @Center4Politics is honored to receive the extensive collections of Professor Emeritus John Sullivan. Prof. Sullivan taught many popular courses at @UVA and incorporated political artifacts into every class. A 2002 article from "InsideUVA" noted that his office where he displayed hundreds of items "never failed to look like a hurricane hit." Thank you Professor Sullivan. We look forward to sharing your collection with many future generations.

As opening statements begin in former Pres. Donald Trump's first criminal trial, @LarrySabato tells @CNN: "Donald Trump right now, and his supporters, are speaking to the hardcore base. The last thing Trump needs is for that base to start melting away.... he (Trump) wants to keep his base together."
On today's Kennedy family endorsement of Biden, @LarrySabato tells @CNN: "The Kennedy family is making a very significant move, something that is uncharacteristic of [them] over many generations...They have their private disputes but they come out with a united front...It's very clear that a large majority of the prominent Kennedys who are still active in public life feel very strongly that Biden should win, but also that [RFK Jr.] represents a real threat via the Electoral College to Biden's second term."
