David Frum warned that the GOP faces electoral disaster again if Republican front-runner Donald Trump becomes the partys 2024 presidential nominee.

Frum, a speechwriter in President George W. Bushs administration, suggested in his latest column for The Atlantic that Republicans are doing everything wrong ahead of next years election.

Focusing on Trumps personal grievances and boutique culture-war issues alongside increasingly extreme positions on abortion, voting rights and social security means the party is well on its way to earning a deep, nasty defeat against President Joe Biden , he wrote.

Bidens poll numbers are only so-so. But a presidential election offers a stark and binary choice: This or that? Frum wrote.

Biden may fall short of some voters imagined ideal of a president, but in 2024, voters wont be comparing the Democrat with that ideal. They will be comparing him with the Republican alternative, he added.

Gallups most recent polling puts Biden at a 37% approval rate, although he peaked at 57% early in his term. Trump, meanwhile, averaged a 41% approval rating during his presidency.
