What challenges arise in the transition from campaigning to governance?

The transition from campaigning to governing reveals that individuals who excel at campaigning often prove incompetent at actual governance. Ari Melber highlights how we've seen key personnel in critical areas like nuclear safety and bird flu emergency response being fired and rehired within a day, demonstrating poor decision-making at leadership levels. While campaigning focuses on winning votes through drama and spectacle, governance requires competent management of systems that ensure public safety and essential services. Unlike the excitement of campaign periods, governing should prioritize effective civic management based on reality rather than political theater. This transition demands leaders who can shift from campaign mode to addressing the practical needs of citizens.
