"Ellie 2.0" show on AM950 KTNF calls for Biden to step down.

This just happened this afternoon; the show hasn't been posted online yet. I don't know how long it takes before that happens.

The link for the show is: https://www.am950radio.com/events/ellie-2-0/

The host (Ellie Krug) made a not-so-great analogy to LBJ's surprise announcement of March 1968 ( "I will not seek, nor will I accept nomination..." ) and called for an RFK-style "idealist" to run in place of Biden.

And no you should not be worried. Her positions from what I could tell were often on the fringes.

...a high-powered corporate attorney. She now hosts a radio show on KTNF AM 950 in the Twin Cities. KTNF is formerly an Air America affiliate and is possibly the lone remaining lib/left radio station in the entire state of MN. There is some really good programming on KTNF, but the latest "Ellie" show did not leave me too enthused.
