Victor Davis Hanson: Republicans Can’t Just Trash the Left—They Need a Plan to Win
Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for the Daily Signal. The anticipation of the November midterms is mounting every day, and the polls show that, typically, in midterm elections, the in-party in the White House, i.e., the Republicans and Donald Trump, are going to lose seats. And because the House is so close anyway, with a five- or six-seat Republican margin, it might be even easier.
