I Watched the Republican Convention. The Democrats Can Still Win.
Ezra Klein discusses the anti-system populism on display at the 2024 G.O.P. convention — and what this might mean for the Democrats.

EZRA KLEIN: From New York Times Opinion, this is “The Ezra Klein Show.”
It is Friday, July 19. It is the morning after the final night of the Republican National Convention. And there is a lot to say about who the Republicans are showing themselves to be or showing themselves to want to be, a lot to say about what is about to happen potentially with the Democrats and Joe Biden. And so I’m joined by my great showrunner and senior editor, Claire Gordon, who is going to turn the tables on me a bit and ask the questions today. So, Claire, thank you so much for being here.
CLAIRE GORDON: It is my pleasure. And I’ll just start right there with what stands out to you as different about Trump and the Republican Party’s sales pitch in 2024 compared to last time?
EZRA KLEIN: What was interesting to me across the Republican Convention and something I see some of my liberal friends honestly grappling with and some of them still trying to deny, is that the Republican Party itself is changing. It is coming into line behind the thing that it thinks Donald Trump is.
