Carl P. Leubsdorf: Trump’s adamant AI stance — Another GOP albatross (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With Republicans already facing an uphill battle in next month’s elections, President Donald Trump is further handicapping them by doubling down on the wrong side of the year’s hottest issue — both substantively and politically. Defying polls showing increasing voter concern about the speed of artificial intelligence development and the proliferation of data centers to support it, Trump is opposing stricter federal guardrails for the burgeoning technology and calling criticism of it another “hoa
Carl P. Leubsdorf: Trump policies costing GOP Hispanic support (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 2024, Hispanic voters gave President Donald Trump an unexpected boost. In 2026, his policies are driving them back to their Democratic roots. That reversal is one of the key factors behind the increasing consensus that the Democrats will regain control of the House – and possibly the Senate – in November’s midterm elections.

Carl P. Leubsdorf: The unreality of the Republican midterm convention (opens the original)

Edward Kennedy to challenge President Jimmy Carter’s renomination two years later. That kind of internal division probably won’t occur when the Republicans hold their first ever mid-term convention next week in Dallas. It’s basically intended as a 12-hour Republican infomercial in wh
Carl P. Leubsdorf: AOC could be an interesting player in 2028 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Democrats formally launch their 2028 presidential race later this year, it could easily have a larger field than the 29 major candidates who ran in 2020. Several hopefuls will likely be coming off big victories. That means that, to stand out, a candidate will need to bring something unique to the race in terms of their background, platform or persona. None of the potential candidates showing interest in running fit that description better than Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the charismatic,
