Republicans Are Starting to Panic

Wall Street Journal: “Five weeks before the midterm elections, Republicans are panicking—and Trump is doing little to ease their minds.”

“Over a whirlwind seven days, the president has made a series of moves that have confounded Republican candidates, strategists and lawmakers.”

“He abruptly banned three media outlets from the White House, triggering a dayslong standoff that led major TV networks to limit their video coverage of his events. He praised New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, a Democratic socialist who has long been a boogeyman for the right. At the United Nations, the president threatened to annihilate Iran and escalate the war.”
