An Analysis of Our Law-Enforcement Trust Problem
The Wall Street Journal’s Daniel Henninger expresses concern over the declining public opinion of the FBI, which has dropped to 37% from 52% in 2018. This decline coincides with a significant increase in resignations from police departments across the nation, creating a perfect storm of negative sentiment towards law enforcement in Northern cities. If this trend continues, we may witness a breakdown in governance, leading to a rise in urban crime, indiscriminate killings, and homelessness. It is clear that prolonged miscommunications between two sides have resulted in the neglect of the original issues or stakes at hand.
The Potential Role of a Third-Party Candidate in Trump’s Campaign
To secure victory in the 2024 general election, President Donald Trump must not only win the GOP nomination but also avoid a federal criminal conviction. Merrill Matthews, an author at The Hill, suggests that Trump’s success relies on the emergence of a viable third-party candidate. Democrats are actively discouraging the bipartisan No Labels group from supporting a third-party challenge, as it could divert votes away from President Biden and result in a Trump victory, mirroring the outcome of the 2016 elections. If a leftist candidate like Cornel West were to secure the Green Party nomination, they would predominantly attract far-left voters who might have otherwise voted for Biden. Without a credible third-party contender, most voters would reluctantly vote for Biden again.
An Examination of Joe Biden’s Treatment of Voter’s Student Loans
Conn Carroll of the Washington Examiner criticizes President Biden’s approach to student loans. While women owe 66% of all college debt, men are being burdened with the responsibility of bailing them out. Carroll argues that since the majority of Americans do not attend college and an even smaller percentage have student debt, Biden’s decision to make this a national issue is questionable. Furthermore, the overwhelming majority of student debt is held by Biden voters, particularly white women with college degrees. Therefore, Biden’s proposal to have all American taxpayers cover the debt of a minority is unjust, especially considering that most student loan debt is owed by high-income individuals.
Potential Contestation in the 2024 Election: RFK Jr.’s Challenge to Biden
Daniel McCarthy of Spectator World suggests that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s challenge to Joe Biden holds substantial weight. Despite relentless negative press coverage, RFK Jr. still maintains a 15% share of the Democratic primary vote. McCarthy draws parallels to the 1968 election, where Eugene McCarthy’s actions weakened President Johnson’s chances of re-election, despite not defeating him. RFK Jr.’s success in exposing Biden’s weaknesses could pave the way for other contenders, such as California Governor Gavin Newsom or Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, to fulfill the role of a substitute for a withdrawn incumbent. The Democrats’ diminishing representation in the House of Representatives, foreign policy missteps, lack of charisma from Biden, and the growing scandal surrounding Hunter Biden also contribute to the potential for a competitive 2024 election.
The Empowering Effect of School Choice
Reason’s J.D. Tuccille applauds the erosion of teachers unions’ dominant influence in public schools. This shift in power is a result of their inflexible pandemic policies and their dismissive attitude towards parental concerns regarding the ideological agendas of groups like Black Lives Matter and critical race theory. It presents an opportunity for parents with diverse viewpoints who wish to have a more active role in shaping their children’s education. State-level school-choice legislation is gaining traction, and advocacy groups like Moms for Liberty seek to implement their ideas in public schools that they believe are under the ideological control of teachers’ unions.
