'A look inside a broken White House'

No, no, it's not a historian mourning the demolished East Wing, it's Joe Biden's press secretary explaining what went wrong with last year's presidential election. Apparently Donald Trump won because the Democratic establishment was so mean to Joe Biden. "Indeed," Isaac Chatiner explains in The New Yorker, Karine "Jean-Pierre is so outraged by the often unnamed Democratic establishmentarians who maneuvered to push Biden to step aside as the Presidential nominee, during the summer of 2024, in the wake of his disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump, that she has decided to leave the Democratic Party and become a political Independent." Wow. Perhaps now she'll be voting with Bernie Sanders's Independents, or with Zohran Mamdani's Socialists.
