Aaron Sorkin, creator of 'The West Wing,' stirred controversy with a New York Times op-ed suggesting that the Democratic Party replace Joe Biden with Republican Senator Mitt Romney to defeat Donald Trump in the 2024 election. Sorkin argued that nominating Romney would be a dramatic gesture showing unity and prioritizing country over party. However, following significant backlash and Biden's announcement to endorse Kamala Harris, Sorkin retracted his proposal and endorsed Harris for President. The op-ed drew widespread criticism, with many questioning Sorkin's judgment and the New York Times' decision to publish the piece.
