One of the big landslides of tonight that’s going to have long term implications is what’s happening in Florida, where Governor Ron DeSantis is going to be winning his race by close to 20 points. That’s more than twice what anyone was expecting at the time. I think that’s going to be very helpful for his presidential ambitions should he decide to run and may not be so helpful for former President Trump. I’d also point out that Trump’s endorsements are beginning to hurt Republican chances in the Senate. His choice in New Hampshire is now running behind. His choice in Ohio is not doing anywhere near as well, as was expected.
And we don’t know whether his choice in Georgia is going to pay off. So one of the subtext tonight is what are Republicans going to think of Donald Trump at the end of the night? And if the process continues the way it’s continuing right now? I would say they’re not going to think very highly of him. They have much better choices not just to Santas, but other rising stars in got in among state governors. This is Larry Lindsey for straight arrow News.

Federal Reserve policy should be more restrictive
The American economy is booming, with high GDP growth, record-low unemployment, and wage gains for median workers. Over the past few quarters, U.S. economic growth indicators have consistently outperformed official projections. But the U.S. Federal Reserve recently conceded that its policies might be too restrictive, hindering the full potential of the U.S. economy, which the…

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…
