Not much new in the last of the Jan.6 Committee Hearings today. However, I thought they did a nice job of summarizing the year of work by the committee. It was interesting to see the clips of the Congressional leadership during the siege. Pelosi and Schumer were cool and effective in a very tense and uncertain situation.
I am skeptical that the House will support the effort to force Trump to testify, even if the Dems narrowly retain control. Even if everything went as desired -- even if Trump dropped dead today -- we would still be facing the massive damage Trump has done by putting his supporters in office at all levels of government, including the retrograde Supreme Court.
It seems unlikely Trump will be able to run again; none of his aspiring lookalikes wants to see him on the ticket, let alone the rest of us. But all the issues are still going to be in place including the undermining of elections and abortion rights for the 2024 contest. There is certainly a good chance that someone with Trump's authoritarian bent but smarter could take the top spot.
