Julian Zelizer : Biden -turned- Harris campaign accepted role Trump cast for it: high-minded defender of the status quo.

Biden and Harris ran for president in 2024 , they did so as candidates of the system, right down to campaigning with Cheney 's daughter Liz .

Zelizer says foreign policy helped Trump make his central pitch that he was the outsider who would upend a failing system.

In depicting the US in the world, political candidates tell the story of the nation.

As Democrats reckon with the future of their party, foreign policy must be part of the reckoning.
