Polls have closed in more states. Right now we’re very closely following a number of key congressional races where Republicans are running non traditional people for seats in the state of Virginia, where there are three vulnerable Democrats, women. In two of those races, it now appears that Republican nominees one a white woman, one a Hispanic woman,
will end up capturing those seats. The third district in Virginia that we’re following is one where a Vietnamese born male is taking on a white woman in a very heavily Democratic district, and it appears he will not succeed in dislodging her. In Rhode Island, Cranston Mayor Allan Fung, a Republican looks like he is going to pick up a seat and become one of the only Republicans representing New England. There are three other possibilities for Republican pickups in Virginia. But it does look like Fung is ahead. Our conclusion so far? The Republican concept of running a more diverse set of candidates appears to be working. Larry Lindsey for straight arrow News.

Celebrate tight labor market, but don’t cut interest rates
While President Joe Biden has been celebrating U.S. economic success, many Americans are still unhappy about the economy. So who’s right? The most recent jobs report for February showed that while the unemployment rate rose slightly to 3.9%, job gains were higher than expected, with the total coming in at 275,000 versus the expected increase…

Social and economic class will define 2024 election
Following in the footsteps of FDR, Democratic support in the past hundred years has drawn largely from working-class individuals, labor unions, and civil society organizations. Republican support, conversely, tended to rely upon larger corporate donations and the support of high-income individuals. In 2024, these traditional roles are evolving, and the new reality of campaign finance…
