In 1980, incumbent President Jimmy Carter lost in a landslide to Republican Ronald Reagan. Many issues plagued the Carter White House, including some, like high inflation, that threaten Joe Biden’s reelection prospects today. But one of the biggest problems for the peanut farmer from Georgia, and one that looms large once again, is that voters came to see his […]
No, Governor Hochul, those are not “clowns,” as you described them, who showed up to support President Trump in the Bronx. They are Americans. They are people who want what they deserve — clean streets, good schools, safe neighborhoods, secure jobs that can support a family and pride in their country. They want what you […]
Most Americans (56 percent) think the U.S. is in recession. It is not. Almost half (49 percent) think the stock market is down for the year. It is not. The same percentage (49 percent) thinks that unemployment is at a 50-year high. Wrong again. And nearly three-quarters of the country (72 percent) thinks inflation is increasing. You […]

Recent polling shows President Joe Biden losing support from Black voters; Democrats appear genuinely shocked. Their confusion reflects a reprehensible and dated view of American minorities. New York Governor Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, recently said at the Milken Institute Conference in California, “we have young Black kids growing up in the Bronx who don’t even know what […]
Unemployment claims surged this week, suggesting the economy, and the jobs market, is weakening. The question is: Will growth slow, or is the economy about to fall off a cliff? Will there be a soft landing or a recession? Americans continue to give President Biden low marks on the economy, despite incessant assurances from the White House that things are going […]
Between now and July 15, when the GOP convention kicks off in Milwaukee, presumptive Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump will pick a running mate. Oftentimes the vice presidential choice is not especially consequential; this time it is. Trump can only serve one term.
