‘West Wing’ creator Aaron Sorkin shares ‘script’ for how he’d save the Democrats — nominating Mitt Romney
Aaron Sorkin, the creator of the ’90s NBC drama “The West Wing,” suggested on Sunday that the Democratic Party nominate a Republican, Senator Mitt Romney, to stop former President Donald Trump. Back in 2012, Sorkin lobbied Obama to repeatedly call Romney a liar at debates. “Nominating Mr. Romney would be putting our money where our mouth is: a clear and powerful demonstration that this election isn’t about what our elections are usually about, but about stopping a deranged man from taking power,” Sorkin touted in an op-ed for the New York Times, before Biden announced his decision to not stand for re-election. Sorkin...

Given the rushed circumstances of the decision, she will have very little time to vet them and ensure that they’d work well together. But with an intraparty scramble, it would appear likely...

Biden drops out — but polls show Trump still strong against Harris, Whitmer, Newsom in tight 2024 race

What Biden’s departure means for the race — and what Kamala Harris must do
President Biden’s historic but not-so-shocking choice to end his re-election campaign has upended the presidential race. Whether it helps the Democrats depends entirely on what they do now. Biden’s decision to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris to succeed him may forestall the open convention many hope for. Technically Biden’s decision frees his delegates to vote their consciences. In practice, every delegate who had been pledged to Biden was vetted or selected by his campaign. Some will be party activists, but most will be Biden loyalists. It’s easiest for them to do what Biden asks and simply promote his understudy to the starring...

Kamala Harris doesn’t call herself presumptive nominee in first statement since Biden drops out
WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris said Sunday she would work to “unite” Democrats in her first statement since President Biden dropped his bid for a second term — though she didn’t declare herself the party’s presumptive nominee. Biden endorsed Harris, 59, in a statement ending his candidacy, but key party leaders, including former President Barack Obama and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) did not immediately back her, nor did a possible challenger, Gov.

The phone call from Donald Trump that convinced me he’s heading back to the White House
Donald Trump called me late on Saturday. “Is that my man Piers? It’s your favorite president calling …” I laughed at his typically cocksure presumption. There are actually a few contenders for my favorite president, including Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, both of whom I’ve interviewed numerous times and have great respect for, and Nelson Mandela. But Trump is the one I’ve known the longest, and best. He’d seen me appear on Fox News in New York to discuss his first rally appearance since last weekend’s horrific assassination attempt. I’d said how much I admired his defiance and guts in the immediate aftermath of the shooting,...
