how much of a disappointment Ka- mala Harris has been as vice presi- dent. Not since Republican Dan


Quayle under George H.W. Bush has a sitting vice president been considered less as the natural suc- cessor to the president when and if he retires. And that leaves the Dem- ocratic Party in 2024 with . . . who? Much like the British Labour


Party and the Socialists in France, Democrats in the U.S. are going through a fl accid time with little sign of fresh talent like a John Kennedy, Bill Clinton, or Barack Obama emerging. It makes for a seductive scenario


for Donald Trump to hit the come- back trail. At 78, never having conceded


the last election, and tarred in the minds of some voters by the events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, Trump could be elected in 2024 based on the axiom that “you can’t beat somebody with nobody.”


President-in-Exile Like Charles de Gaulle at his Co- lombey-les-Deux Eglises estate from 1946-58, Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago remains politically infl uential but surfaces when he wishes — all the while raising spec- ulation about a return to power. Interviews with the former pres-


ident are selective and almost al- ways with sympathetic outlets. Press releases come out on a


near-daily basis, inevitably blasting Biden on issues from immigration to infrastructure and most recently calling for his resignation over Af- ghanistan. Just as de Gaulle gave his bless-


FRONT AND CENTER Unlike many former presidents, Donald Trump has remained fi rmly in the public eye. Despite being banned by Twitter, he has attacked Democrats and the current administration, and backed conservative candidates in a spate of speeches, rallies, and TV interviews, including this one with Newsmax TV’s Rob Schmitt.


ing to parliamentary candidates who were considered true “Gaul- lists,” Trump and his Save America political action committee off er his endorsement and sometimes mon- ey (spent independently and in six fi gures) to House and Senate candi- dates he feels are loyalists. Sometimes this works. In Ohio’s


15th District (Columbus), former National Coal Association Presi- dent Mike Carey went into a prima- ry for the seat from which former Republican Rep. Steve Stivers re- signed to take over the Ohio Cham- ber of Commerce. With Trump’s endorsement at


a rally in Wellington (outside the 15th District) and $400,000 spent on TV ads by the Save America PAC


touting Carey as the Trump candi- date, Carey rolled up a handsome win (37 percent) over 10 opponents — including the favored choice of Stivers. Sometimes it doesn’t work. In


Texas’ 6th District (Fort Worth), Trump off ered two ringing en- dorsements of the candidate con- sidered the favorite to win an open seat — Susan Wright, widow of the late Republican Rep. Ron Wright, who died earlier this year from CO- VID-19. The former president’s PAC


spent $300,000 to put her over the top in the runoff in July. But Wright by all accounts ran a poor cam-
