Good News for the GOP: Some Politics Is Still Local (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The GOP faces an ominous landscape this November. President Trump’s job-approval rating is underwater. Voters prefer Democrats to Republicans. Inflation remains above target. Interest rates and gasoline prices continue to rise. The map favors Democrats. They need to net only three seats to win control of the House. A swing of four seats puts them in charge of the Senate. They expect a blue wave. “Donald Trump is absolutely on the ballot in November, and the American people are going to send a me
Republicans’ Familiar Fight over Big Government (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Trumpapalooza is over, but the debate over the GOP’s future is just beginning. Another skirmish broke out last week with news that the Trump administration is planning a change in family policy.

Read excerpt
The president’s approval rating is sinking. War in the Middle East is unpopular. Infighting consumes Congress, and the domestic agenda has crawled to a halt. Republicans trail on the congressional generic ballot as the Senate battleground expands. GOP incumbents grapple with scandal. The grassroots are wilted. All signs point to a Democratic November.
