Somehow, summing up the transition from the Trump presidency to the Biden administration feels impossible. I keep coming back to the idea of Trump as both a symptom and accelerant, and thus Trumpism (and its white supremacy and antidemocratic values) predated Trump and will outlive him.
Biden and Harris are inheriting so many crises. IDK, maybe my main takeaway today is both a big deal and a pretty low bar: It’s something to be confident again that the executive branch will be focused on trying to address those crises.
