Seven years after Biden predicted a GOP ‘epiphany’ over Trump, Democrats are moving on

Summary: Years ago, Joe Biden promised that Republicans would have an "epiphany" and work with Democrats once Donald Trump left office. He thought the political "fever" would break. Instead, Trump won again in 2024. Now, Democratic voters are tired of trying to compromise. They realize the Republican party has permanently changed. Instead of taking the high road, Democrats are demanding tough leaders who will fight back. As one leader said, "When they go low, we strike back."
