David Remnick on Trump Leading Biden in the Polls: ‘A Moment of Horrible Peril’

EXCERPT:

BAKER: “Unfortunately, what’s not surprising is that Donald Trump is a moral vacuum in a suit. The fact that he couldn’t bestir himself to show any sympathy to the Navalny family, much less make a political statement of any moral bearing at all, unfortunately is not a surprise. And he is leading in the presidential polls. What will bestir the American public to recognize the moral vacuum of Trump? Whether it has to do with Navalny or Russia or insurrection or his economic crimes or his sexual assault, and on and on and on. This is the country that we live in, where Donald Trump is in the lead. It is a moment of horrible peril."
