On Thursday, Texas State’s own Dr. Michael Faber appeared on Good Day Austin on Fox 7 KTBC to discuss the ongoing Democratic convention. Anchor Amanda Salinas interviewed Dr. Faber about presidential candidate Joe Biden’s upcoming speech. Dr. Faber noted that Mr. Biden is in a delicate situation, in that he must both convince undecided voters to his side while avoiding pushing more moderate voters away. Dr. Faber predicted his speech would emphasize “unity, appealing to the undecided, and arguing that he can bring the country together.”
In his nomination acceptance speech, Biden realized Dr. Faber’s predictions, launching his campaign as Democratic nominee as a “rescue mission” for a country besieged on all sides, according to the New York Times.
Dr. Faber also discussed Former President Barack Obama’s speech at the convention observing that it was unusual for a former president to offer such direct criticism of his successor.
