On Friday evening’s Washington Week with The Atlantic on tax-funded PBS, show host and Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg set a “foreboding” scene, just a few days before Election Day.
Host Jeffrey Goldberg: So, this is it. By our next show, we`ll know the identity of the next president of the United States, except if we don`t. This is the closest race in memory, and one of the strangest and most foreboding as well….So, imagine this, a woman of black and Asian descent, who was a failed candidate for the Democratic nomination in 2020, and who was a semi-marginalized vice president in a fairly unpopular administration, may beat a former president of the United States in the race for the White House. This is completely improbable. But what is also completely improbable is that the former president she`s trying to beat is a convicted felon who encouraged a violent insurrection against the constitutional order and who has promised to be a dictator on his first day back in office.
But it was Politico’s Eugene Daniels who made the most ridiculous observation of the evening, arguing that the Democrats are centrist.
