Reflections On a Lawyer's Presidential Campaign

John is joined by Francis X. Suarez, Presidential Candidate, Mayor of Miami and Of Counsel (on Leave of Absence) in Quinn Emanuel’s Miami office.  They discuss Mayor Suarez’s personal experience running for President as an underdog candidate, including how he adjusts to the demands of constant travel without the advantage of private jets, what it is like to read the “opposition research” his opponent’s consultants have prepared about him, and how his years as a practicing lawyer have prepared him for this campaign. They also discuss his personal relationships with the other candidates, the current prosecutions of former President Trump, and what he has learned about the country, the process and himself as a result of this campaign.
