Ted Cruz has announced that rather than run for president again in 2024 against Donald Trump, Nikki Haley, and whoever else may join the field, he will instead run for reelection to the Senate. That leaves the field of prospects running for the GOP nomination without a prominent Texan for the first time since 1976. […]
Democrats’ Widening Schism
Biden or Bust Despite a striking incongruity between Democratic voters’ desire to move on to another candidate and the party establishment’s continuing embrace of Joe Biden, no one seems to be buying “Biden or Bust.” At last weekend’s recent Democratic power broker campaign-style rally, “serious dissent or discontentment with Biden was almost impossible to find,” […]

Why should Americans vote for Donald Trump in 2024? That’s what Stephen L. Miller is asking in Spectator World. He examines Trump’s motivations, writing: Why does he want to do this?

Trump’s America Is Better than Biden’s
OK, “Stop the Steal” didn’t work outside the base, but it’s rich when Dems campaign on this stuff: In my conversations with you, you tell me how you’re fed up with Trump’s antics (including his support for LIV Golf). He has a knack. But I’ll take Trump’s personality gaffs if that means getting his policies […]
