The Economist: Can a Presley win Mississippi?
In Mississippi, Republican governor Tate Reeves is running for re-election on a platform of prosperity, despite the state's high poverty and healthcare issues. His opponent, pro-life Democrat Brandon Presley, is trailing by just one point in the polls. One key issue is the lack of healthcare in the state, with many people unable to afford insurance or access medical services. Democratic candidate Presley is advocating for federal funds to address these issues and is aiming to win over black voters to secure victory.
Fox News: Trump wins major home-state endorsement in snub to DeSantis
Former President Donald Trump has received a major endorsement from Senator Rick Scott, overshadowing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. This endorsement could potentially harm DeSantis' chances of securing the Republican presidential nomination. Although DeSantis has highlighted his endorsements from state legislators in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina, Scott's support for Trump could have a significant impact on the race.
The Economist: Why might a Democratic governor win in a state that went for Trump by 26 points?
In Kentucky, a Democratic governor, Andy Beshear, is running for re-election in a state that heavily favored Trump. The Beshear family has managed to keep a distance from their own party's presidents and promote the economic benefits of federal spending. The Republican challenger, Daniel Cameron, tries to link Beshear to the unpopular Democratic president, while focusing on issues like the economy and protecting law enforcement. Beshear has managed to counter these attacks by highlighting his opponent's extreme anti-abortion stance.
The Economist: A tax-cutting wave is sweeping over America’s states
Tax-cutting wave sweeps over American states, with Iowa leading the charge. Critics warn of economic recklessness, while conservatives see fiscal triumph. States are flush with cash, allowing for cuts in income taxes. However, concerns arise about the long-term effects of such cuts and potential impact on services like education and healthcare. Iowa's shift to a flat tax is seen as radical and may exacerbate inequality. Minnesota, in contrast, pursues increased spending levels and progressive tax reforms. As the states experiment with different approaches, the question remains: which strategy will attract new residents and investment while maintaining essential services?

This redefinition aims to ensure equal access to reproductive medicine, but it blurs the line between objective truth and subjective desires. It also opens the door for insurance coverage of reproductive-health services, which could increase medical costs.

The Telegraph: It’s time to defund the UN
The United Nations' biased and pro-terrorist actions during the Israeli-Palestinian conflict highlight the failure of reform efforts. The UN Secretary General's victim-blaming of Israel and the General Assembly's refusal to condemn terrorist attacks demonstrate the institution's corruption. In order to enact real change, democratic nations should withhold their financial support until the UN is reformed or replaced.
National Review: Fund Both Israel and Ukraine
Congress is divided over how to pass aid to Ukraine and Israel. It is crucial that funding is passed for both allies quickly to support them against escalating threats. The Biden administration's approach has flaws, but funding is necessary to resist hostile actors aiding each other. Republicans propose splitting aid, but it is important that both bills reach the floor for bipartisan support. Stalemate must be avoided, as Israel and Ukraine need help urgently due to ongoing conflicts and potential strategic collapse. The threats from Russia, Iran, and China are interconnected, and Congress must act purposefully to safeguard America's national security.
National Review: Joe Biden Caves on Israel
Joe Biden initially expressed support for Israel's right to self-defense but later caved to pressure from progressive activists and called for a ceasefire. This contradicted his administration's previous stance and undermined Israel's strategic position. It raises questions about whether the Democratic Party's coalition is fragile and prioritizes politics over Israel's response to the 10/7 massacre.
