Missy Ryan: “Allies no longer believe Trumpism was an aberration and are unlikely just to pick up where Biden left off. Beijing and Moscow are asserting themselves in the belief that America is on the decline. Democrats broadly agree that Trump’s foreign policy—the disregard for allies, the solicitude toward autocracies, the muddiness of the Iran war—has been atrocious.”
“But there are wide differences in opinion over what positions the party should adopt heading into the 2026 midterms and the 2028 presidential election—and the divisions don’t play out in the ways one might expect. Some of the new Democratic proposals carry more than a whiff of Trumpism. Others call for a complete reset, especially on aid to Israel. Underlying everything is the widespread recognition that the establishment order, personified by Biden and his predecessors, left many Americans behind.”
