The Ohio senator still gives voters the creeps, but someone even more awkward and obnoxious has taken his place.

The fact that the election is a toss-up, rather than a Trump landslide, is a testament to the vice president’s political skills.

For nearly a decade, Democrats have tried to convince voters that Donald Trump is an existential threat to the country's future. That effort has clearly failed.

Far from “America First,” his foreign policy advisers largely believe in using military force abroad—at the risk of entangling the U.S. in more wars.

The New Republic talks to White House staffers protesting the Biden administration’s continued support of Israel’s brutal, destructive wars in Gaza and the Middle East.

He didn’t just win the election. He’s also become fully normalized in American culture.

Over the course of the decade, the party has hoped that voters would simply reject him as immoral, uncouth, and unfit for office. They need a stronger argument—and his cabinet picks give them one.

If we’re being honest, he deserves this ignominy every year. But after Trump dodged justice this year and nonetheless won the presidency, we cannot responsibly give this “award” to anyone else.

Yes, the president-elect really is serious about expanding the U.S. But what he mostly wants is to bully small countries that won’t fight back.
