The old establishment of democrat leaders aren't doing well against the current GOP top brass.
I would love to see a younger generation of democratic politicians take charge after Biden steps down.
If that doesn't happen, I hope someone like Liz Cheney or Mitt Romney can emerge as the next GOP leader. They seem more reasonable and less extreme than the current GOP stars like deSantis, Cruz and Marjorie.
