2020, you re seeing recession. and glenn youngkin, if donald trump doesn t run for president, you ll see him immediately watching for that top tier of potential republican candidates. he s created a model to run on a trump-like agenda. and jonathan alter, this new model that john allen was just talking about, you identified it earlier as this model in which people who dislike donald trump and what donald trump stands for, glenn youngkin created a model in which it would be palatable for those people to go back and vote for republican. it s not really clear where glenn youngkin stands on a bunch of things because he seems to straddle some lines on traditional and conservative values compared to what trump followers like. he struggled with it during the
him either. arthel: you are the former rnc communications director. i want to talk about the direction of the republican party, picking up on what you said, how far will the g.o.p. stray from reagan, even bush republicans or are those days just bye gones and former president trump s g.o.p. is here to stay? is this a nod to where they may go in terms of if youngkin wins or not? well, look, i don t think any republican would dispute that donald trump is the de facto leader of the party right now. if you look at his approval rating with republicans, it s sky high. so he s going to whether he runs or doesn t run, have enormous influence on what happens in republican politics over the next two years, four years, you know, and longer, again, regardless of whether he runs, regardless if he runs, he wins or loses. that s where the party is right now. but a lot of republicans still want to get trump and kind of the outraged de jure that was always driven by trump in the rearview mirror. tha
