Meet the man who was in charge of responding to Donald Trump's attacks against Joe Biden.

On this week's episode of Tying It Together with Tim Boyum, Tim and Ben talk with Andrew Bates, a N.C. State graduate and Winston-Salem native who describes the pressure of serving as the Director of Rapid Response for the Biden campaign and doing a bulk of the work from his mom's house in North Carolina.

We’ll also talk about how unusual it was to win the race for president, but be unable to celebrate in any normal way due to COVID precautions. And later, we'll hear about how Andrew’s late father introduced him to politics, and how he might feel watching his son play such a vital role in a historic election.
