Below is the measured account of Herschel Walker’s electoral defeat. But “soul searching” is wishful Grey Lady journalism: Republicans will wait until the spring of 2024 in hopes that Trump will be enough of a wounded mastodon before opting for either the odious Ron DeSantis or a return to Bush-era dog whistling to straddle both the moneyed don’t tax us establishment and the easily duped. knowledge-averse Trump base. And “tether itself” means “chain tightly in hopes of repeating the same playbook but praying for a different outcome.’
NYT: “Mr. Walker’s loss will almost certainly lead to soul-searching for a Republican Party that must decide heading into the 2024 election how firmly to tether itself to a former president who has now absorbed powerful political blows in three successive campaign cycles.”
