National Review: It’s Still the Economy, Stupid
Republican Party has an advantage on economic policy and crime, but risks losing focus in 2024. Both Democrats and Republicans misinterpret 2022 midterm results. The public prefers Joe Biden over Donald Trump, with Trump's election-trutherism being unpopular. Republicans do well when focused on the economy and opposition to "Defund the Police," but lose when associated with Trump's antics. To succeed, Republicans should emphasize their economic stewardship, oppose Biden's spending, and showcase successful Republican-run states like Florida. However, there is a concern that the party may choose to renominate Trump and focus on fringe issues instead.

Breitbart: Nolte: Mayor Johnson Pledges to Doom Chicago by ‘Re-Envisioning’ Police

This breakdown in civil safety could have been avoided, as proven by successful policies in other cities like New York. The mayor's plan includes using non-police positions for non-violent calls and re-imagining the role of a police officer, potentially turning them into social workers.
