Opinion piece argues ego has taken over American politics

Original: The ego has invaded American politics | Opinion

A new opinion column published by the Portland Press Herald and picked up by the Sun Journal argues that ego now dominates American politics. The piece contends that personal self-interest and self-promotion have displaced public service in the country's political culture. Reaction so far is limited to the columns themselves, which suggest growing unease among commentators about the state of political leadership in the United States.

Why now: Commentators are voicing concern that self-promotion is overshadowing governance in US politics, a topic that resonates amid ongoing partisan tensions.
