Commentary NEW ALEXANDRIA, Pennsylvania—Ever since former President Donald Trump lost to President Joe Biden in 2020, there has been a flag hanging from a home not far from where I live that reads “Trump 2024”—one of the thousands I have seen across the country in the past two years. But yesterday, when I drove past…


DeSantis Credits Florida’s Red Wave to Leadership Against ‘Woke Mind Virus’

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Nov. 19 acknowledged “underwhelming performances” by Republicans in the midterm elections and contrasted the losses elsewhere with what he called a “true Republican landslide” in Florida. “We added four new Republican Congressmen to the U.S. House of Representatives from the state of Florida,” DeSantis told attendees at the Republican Jewish Coalition in…


Contra Conventional Wisdom, There Is Little Evidence Abortion Hurt Republicans

Commentary By any measure, Democrats exceeded expectations this midterm. Though listening to the triumphalism today, you’d think Joe Biden was Hannibal at Cannae.

How Google Stopped the Red Wave

Commentary What happened to the gigantic Red Wave that was supposed to crush the Democrats in the midterm elections? Every Republican in the country is blaming everyone else for this disaster, but almost no one is looking in the right place—and that’s exactly how the Big Tech companies like it. Based on my team’s research,…


A ‘Sure Thing’ Election That Wasn’t

Commentary MIAMI—If Republicans could not score their “red wave” victories predicted by many pundits—and even some Democrats—in these midterm elections, what’s next for them?
