A year, and a decade, of political challenges: Joan Walsh reviews the fall and rise of Kamala Harris, the return of Joe Biden, and the deepening problem posed over the last decade by white voters who now support Trump.

Jared was put in charge of pandemic response, Ivanka carried the Bible for that disastrous photo-op, and Don Junior and Eric tried to outdo their father on the campaign trail.
