This is a good take because it hits on the reality of our modern political age: voters are holding the White House responsible for everything, mostly the bad things.
As a result, one term presidencies very well be our thing until the 2040s.

Donald Trump is Joe Biden now
POTUS's job approval on prices is where Biden's was during peak inflation in 2022-23. Voters say 2:1 that Trump has made the economy worse. Oh, and consumer sentiment among independents hit a new all-time low in November, www.gelliottmorris.com/p/donald-tru...

One important result of the Dems' surrender on the shutdown: It is already producing a rebellion from the party's base.

The indictment of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu is a textbook example of how hybrid regimes operate: elections continue, but the field is tilted beyond recognition.
It’s a sobering signal for Turkey — and for other democracies, including the US - that is under threat.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

All of this is going to get messier and the main question elected Democrats need to decide is which side of this building anger are they on?
Because they can either help lead the groundswell of opposition or they can be a target alongside their Republican colleagues but they don’t get to opt out.
