Deep dives
The Republican Party's Crisis and Turmoil
The recent Republican presidential debate took place against the backdrop of an ongoing crisis within the party. The candidates failed to address the most pressing issue: the party's alignment with criminality and anti-democratic tendencies. The former president, who faces multiple indictments and charges related to attempts to overturn the 2020 election, loomed over the debate. The debate focused on policy initiatives, but without addressing the underlying problem, the Republican Party's reputation and validity as a political force are under question.
