The United States of 2 Americas Commentary If you haven’t noticed, the United States is re-organizing itself into two Americas—Blue and Red. Although there is a President of the United States, the state governors are in many ways now driving the national narrative in this new America. The president and the vice president are who they are now because six Republican-controlled states forwarded questionable electoral votes, and Vice President Pence missed a historic opportunity to challenge those votes. The current president and vice president seem trapped in foggy and abstract ideological slogans rather than providing executive leadership. Vague generalities and virtue signaling are not replacements for executive leadership.
