Political strategist and novelist Robert Moran joins Eric Wilson to discuss his new book "Lincoln 2.0," a political thriller exploring AI candidates in future elections. They dive into whether voters would accept a digitally resurrected Abraham Lincoln running for president, the technological requirements for AI candidates, and regulatory challenges facing this emerging reality. The conversation covers real-world examples like Modi"s digital avatar in India, AI debate prep possibilities, and the potential for campaigns to create digital clones of candidates. Moran predicts presidential libraries will soon create AI versions of past presidents, making this speculative fiction feel surprisingly close to reality.  Subscribe on YouTube: Visit the Campaign Trend Website: Follow us on X Follow us on LinkedIn Subscribe to our Newsletter Become a Campaign Trend Insider
