Missing Souljah
My ears always perk up when one of my newsletters is mentioned on The Dispatch Podcast. It happened last week when Sarah Isgur was inspired by this one to pose a confounding question.
Why is Donald Trump, not Joe Biden, the candidate who’s had a “Sister Souljah moment” recently?
On the momentous issue of abortion, Trump has risked offending an important element of his base by pivoting toward the center. He’s making a play for swing voters, as preposterous as that sounds after four indictments, two impeachments, and one insurrection.
Shouldn’t the other guy in the race be doing a little of that too?
