Bob shares doubts about Kamala Harris’s effectiveness in the current administration, while Jack questions the future leadership of the Democratic party. From his perspective abroad, Bob sees the media’s overwhelming focus on Trump shaping global perceptions, making him a polarizing figure even among expatriates.
