CNBC talked to presidential scholar Meena Bose about next steps for the Democrats if President Joe Biden withdraws from the 2024 race. Dr. Bose is professor of political science, executive dean of the Public Policy and Public Service program, and executive director of the Kalikow Center for the Study of the American Presidency.



“The vice president is the logical choice, obviously,” said Dr. Bose, who noted that Kamala Harris has already been vetted, and the fundraising war chest that the Biden campaign has amassed in the current election cycle would transfer to her if she took over the ticket.

Dr. Anoop Rai, professor of finance at Hofstra’s Frank G.

Newsrooms’ Editing Decisions Under a Microscope

Mark Lukasiewicz, dean of The Lawrence Herbert School of Communication, is featured in the Associated Press article, “In Trump-dominated media world, editing video takes on new significance — as BBC uproar shows.” The article is about high level resignations at the BBC, after filmmakers behind the documentary, Trump: A Second Chance, admitted they spliced together quotes from different sections of the speech Trump made before the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot to make it seem like he was directly urging violence. Dean Lukasiewicz noted that “every editing decision taken in a newsroom is now under a microscope and can be weaponized for political purposes.”
