NY Times columnist Thomas Friedman asks if America needs a ticket of Joe Biden and Liz Cheney in 2024. Or Joe Biden and Lisa Murkowski, or Kamala Harris and Mitt Romney, or Stacey Abrams and Liz Cheney, or Amy Klobuchar and Liz Cheney?
America is facing an existential moment, Friedman writes. He quotes political scientist Steven Levitsky, who notes that the Republican Party has shown that it isn’t committed any longer to playing by democratic rules, leaving the United States uniquely threatened among Western democracies.
According to Levitsky, “democracy cannot afford for this Republican Party to win again because they have demonstrated a ton of evidence that they are no longer committed to the democratic rules of the game.”
