    New at @thedispatch. Just as Andrew Jackson was a useful historical model for understanding Trump, the Biden Dems should take a look at the Whigs.https://thedispatch.com/p/joe-biden-and-the-whig-restoration …

        Like today's "resistance," the Whigs described themselves as the principled opponents of tyranny. They also wanted the federal government to take a more active role in the economy.pic.twitter.com/xg3vyokSqz

        When they won in 1840, they were in a hurry to enact their economic agenda. One of their first moves was to remove the House filibuster over the objections of John Quincy Adams and the antislavery wing of the party.

        Did nuking the filibuster help the Whig party? Were the antislavery Whigs right? Find out here!https://thedispatch.com/p/joe-biden-and-the-whig-restoration …

        This is very interesting, but there’s no Democrat in congress who can challenge Biden the way Henry Clay challenged Harrison and Tyler. In late 1841 Clay even compelled all but one of Tyler’s cabinet to resign

        So far Biden has avoided a fight with the left wing of the party (and has pleasantly surprised some of them). That said, this is still a great article!
