Debating David French: Can a Vote for Harris Save the G.O.P.?
Ross Douthat goes head-to-head with his fellow Christian conservative columnist over how to move Republicans past Trump.Ross Douthat: This is a very special episode of “Matter of Opinion,” because we’ll be doing something a little different today. It’s just me as the host with, as my guest, my fellow columnist and fellow religious conservative David French. David, thanks so much for joining “Matter of Opinion.”
David French: Thanks so much for hosting me, Ross. I really appreciate it.
Douthat: [Laughs.] It’s my pleasure, or at least it is at the outset.
We’ll see how things end up at the end [French laughs], because you recently wrote a column that attracted attention — a lot of attention from not just from New York Times readers but from all different kinds of American conservatives.
