Aaron Sorkin Takes Back ‘Fever Dream’ Biden Replacement Idea
Screenwriter Aaron Sorkin is backtracking after his “pitch” for Democrats to replace President Joe Biden on the 2024 presidential ticket with a Republican drew ire from prominent liberals across the internet on Sunday.
But now that Biden has officially dropped out of the race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to be the Democratic front-runner, Sorkin borrowed The West Wing cast member Joshua Malina’s X account to declare, “I take it all back. Harris for America!”
In an op-ed published by The New York Times, Sorkin said the Democratic Party could put their money “where our mouth is” by nominating a GOP moderate like Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT).
