Presidential historian Jon Meacham: I endorsed Biden because 'this is an existential election'
Presidential historian Jon Meacham says he didn’t hesitate when former Vice President Joe Biden called him at home in Nashville late last month with an invitation to speak at the Democratic National Convention.
“I’ve voted for presidents of both parties,” Meacham said in an interview with the Yahoo News podcast “Skullduggery” as he recalled the moment. “This is not a close call this year. This is not Romney/Obama. This is, I believe, an existential election.”
Meacham, the former editor of Newsweek, said he felt it was his patriotic duty to accept Biden’s invitation.
“For all of Joe Biden’s imperfections,” he said, “it is vitally important that the incumbent president no longer be the incumbent president.”
