As we approach the 2024 Election, our country seems hopelessly divided. Adding to the political discord are the ongoing indictments and future trials of Donald Trump. What can be done to turn the tide and save our Democracy?
My personal advice to President Biden would be to select a moderate Republican as his running mate in 2024; of course, that individual would have to support his general social and fiscal policies. With all due respect to Kamala Harris, we need to demonstrate the ability of moderate Democrats and Republicans to work together, addressing the complicated issues facing our country and our planet.
This pairing would likely appeal to Independents, non-MAGA Republicans and Democrats who are not thrilled with a second Biden term, despite his significant accomplishments. Most importantly, it would be a major step toward marginalizing the extreme Right, healing the political divide and restoring the vital function of Congress.
