road to ruin

“We are on the road to ruin,” Mukhtar Babyaev, president of COP29 said in his opening remarks.

Campaigning as an avatar of the G.O.P.’s old guard and warning that Mr. Trump’s populism was the “road to ruin,” Mr. Pence raised around $5.3 million last year, never found significant support in public polls and dropped out in late October when faced with the possibility of not qualifying for another debate.

We must seize this moment to fix the broken COP process and stop the world from barreling down the road to ruin.

Former Vice President Mike Pence, who recently warned the Trump brand of populism is putting the party on the “road to ruin,” is set to return Monday to Iowa, marking his 20th day in the state.

Pence linked the right’s populism - promoting a hard focus on ordinary people’s complaints about big government and so-called elites - to progressivism on the left as “fellow travelers on the same road to ruin.”
