What Went Down During President Trump’s Closing Speech At The RNC

Galen, I was really convinced by this piece from The Atlantic’s Adam Serwer. Trump’s culture-war playbook is disarmed by a Biden nomination, and I’m not sure yet whether Harris is someone who his campaign can use as a stand-in for the things they’ve been attacking the past four days. They are trying to tie him to Sanders and “the Squad,” but I’m not sure it’ll work.

Trump says that civil strife and protests in “Democrat-run” cities could have their problems solved if they would just accept federal help that Trump is offering.

Well, Galen, I think a lot of those young progressives are really anxious about whether they’ll be able to push Biden to the left if he’s elected. So I don’t think they see him as a Trojan horse at all!
