Season Premiere: Jonathan Darman, journalist, historian, and author of Landslide: LBJ and Ronald Reagan at the Dawn of a New America & Becoming FDR: The Personal Crisis That Made a President, returns to The Realignment. Marshall and Jonathan discuss why efforts to convince or force President Biden to drop his reelection bid failed, how LBJ's decision to leave the race at the height of the Vietnam War in 1968 informs how we understand Biden's motivations, the ways that the 1944, 1968, 1980, and 1984 elections offer parallels to today, and why there hasn't been a landslide electoral victory by either party in decades.
