Biden-Cheney? Twitter melts down over NYT columnist’s proposed 2024 ticket

Twitter was lit on fire Tuesday evening after New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman proposed a new VP for President Biden ahead of the 2024 election.

Friedman wrote a piece extensively focused on Israeli politics and the “most diverse national unity government in Israel’s history,” something he suggested, “might be a harbinger for politics in the U.S.”

“Is that what America needs in 2024 — a ticket of Joe Biden and Liz Cheney?” Friedman wondered. “Or Joe Biden and Lisa Murkowski, or Kamala Harris and Mitt Romney, or Stacey Abrams and Liz Cheney, or Amy Klobuchar and Liz Cheney? Or any other such combination. Before you leap into the comments section, hear me out.”

The Times columnist elaborated on the mechanics that led to the 2021 ousting of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and how an Israeli coalition across party lines elevated “rightist Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and left-of-center Alternate Prime Minister Yair Lapid” into power.

He asked political scientist Steven Levitsky, who warned “democracy cannot afford for this Republican Party to win again” for failing to commit to democratic rules, if a Biden-Cheney ticket is “such a crazy idea.”- READ MORE
