Grievance politics, rather than problem solving, now at the heart of Republican Party

Frida Ghitis: Grievance politics is taking over the Republican Party.

She says the race for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination is likely to be a contest between Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Ghitis says the difference between the two Republicans is that Trump’s grievances are highly personal.

When problem-solving fails, grievance politics triumphs. There will be many twists and turns between now and November 2024. For one thing, Trump may be indicted on a criminal charge. Would that make him unelectable? Trump said at CPAC that he would not drop out of the race if he is indicted. He even said it would “probably enhance my numbers.” He may be right. Another grievance!
