☆ Trump’s Sweeping Iowa Victory Leaves Little Room for Foes

Iowa Caucus votes being counted in Urbandale, Iowa, on Monday. Photo: KC McGinnis for The Wall Street JournalIn the end, there was only one lane to victory in Iowa, and Donald Trump had it all to himself. The candidates challenging the former president had hoped to find enough dissatisfaction with him to build their own voter coalitions. Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor, had shown signs in polling of consolidating college-educated Republicans, such as those in the suburbs or college towns of Iowa, as well as voters less committed to conservative causes.

☆ Trump’s Second-Term Plans: Anti-‘Woke’ University, ‘Freedom Cities’
  + stars: | 2023-12-02 | by ( Andrew Restuccia | Aaron Zitner | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
WASHINGTON—As he campaigns to retake the White House, Donald Trump has increasingly tossed aside the principles of limited government and local control that have defined the Republican Party for decades. The former president is laying plans to wield his executive authority to influence school curricula, prevent doctors from providing medical interventions for young transgender people and pressure police departments to adopt more severe anticrime policies. All are areas where state or local officials have traditionally taken the lead.

☆ Voters See American Dream Slipping Out of Reach, WSJ/NORC Poll Shows
  + stars: | 2023-11-24 | by ( Aaron Zitner | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Many Americans say it has become harder to achieve the American dream, which often includes the goal of owning a home. Photo: andrew caballero-reynolds/Agence France-Presse/Getty ImagesThe American dream—the proposition that anyone who works hard can get ahead, regardless of their background—has slipped out of reach in the minds of many Americans. Only 36% of voters in a new Wall Street Journal/NORC survey said the American dream still holds true, substantially fewer than the 53% who said so in 2012 and 48% in 2016 in similar surveys of adults by another pollster. When a Wall Street Journal poll last year asked whether people who work hard were likely to get ahead in this country, some 68% said yes—nearly twice the share as in the new poll.

☆ Both Parties Lose Appetite for Government-Shutdown Standoffs—for Now

The U.S. government narrowly averted shutting down—again. WSJ explains why the growing divide in Congress is leading to threats of a shutdown nearly every year. Photo illustration: Madeline MarshallWASHINGTON—Congressional shutdown brinkmanship is taking a break, but it could be back with a vengeance soon. Faced with a government-funding deadline this weekend, House lawmakers of both parties agreed Tuesday to back a short-term plan that simply extends the status quo until early next year, rather than stage another bare-knuckle fight now over spending and policy priorities.

Photo illustration: Madeline MarshallWASHINGTON—Congressional shutdown brinkmanship is taking a break, but it could be back with a vengeance soon. Faced with a government-funding deadline this weekend, House lawmakers of both parties agreed Tuesday to back a short-term Republican plan that extends the status quo until early next year, rather than stage another bare-knuckle fight now over spending and policy priorities. The far-less-pugnacious Senate followed Wednesday, approving the proposal 87 to 11. The bill now goes to President Biden for his signature.

☆ Why Third-Party Candidates Threaten Biden in 2024
  + stars: | 2023-11-10 | by ( Aaron Zitner | Stephanie Stamm | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
President Biden and Donald Trump, the likely contenders for the White House next year, are about evenly divided in polling. In a head-to-head race, many polls find an outright tie, with few voters undecided. Most voters, however, will have several choices beyond Trump and Biden—a fact that isn’t reflected in many public-opinion polls. When polls do offer a larger slate of options, Biden often loses the most support to those additional candidates or to “undecided” status, giving Trump an edge.

☆ Abortion-Rights Supporters Rack Up Victories, Putting GOP in Bind for 2024
  + stars: | 2023-11-08 | by ( Aaron Zitner | Laura Kusisto | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Voters cast ballots at a polling location in Virginia on Tuesday, where Democrats retained control of the state Senate and gained control of the House. Photo: Tierney Cross/Bloomberg NewsThey were disparate elections in different states—for governor, state Senate, a supreme court seat and on a constitutional amendment. But the results of off-year races on Tuesday pointed in one direction: Voters will come to the polls to defend abortion rights. In the Republican strongholds of Ohio and Kentucky, as well as politically purple Virginia and Pennsylvania, abortion-rights supporters spent millions of dollars to tell voters that GOP lawmakers couldn’t be trusted to set state abortion policy after the Supreme Court last year eliminated a right to the procedure under the U.S. Constitution.

☆ Why Republicans Abandoned Their Fight to Repeal Obamacare

President Biden looks to former President Barack Obama after signing an executive order during an event for the Affordable Care Act in 2022. Photo: Carolyn Kaster/Associated PressOne of the most revealing debates in the Republican Party is one that has disappeared from the campaign trail: the fight over repealing Obamacare. This presidential election marks the first in more than a decade in which no GOP candidates are pledging to eviscerate the landmark Affordable Care Act, ending a standoff between the parties over whether the government is responsible for providing access to healthcare.

☆ Conservatives Won the Fight for House Speaker. Did They Also Put the GOP Majority at Risk?
  + stars: | 2023-10-28 | by ( Aaron Zitner | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
House Republicans have elected the most conservative speaker of the last century, by some measures, the first to identify so forcefully as both a budget hawk and champion of right-leaning social values. Now the question is whether a party this far to the right, with a speaker to match, can keep control of its House majority in a competitive election year. As soon as GOP lawmakers voted unanimously on Wednesday to give Rep. Mike Johnson the speaker’s gavel, Republicans in political swing districts, who need independent and Democratic votes for re-election, began defining the little-known Louisiana lawmaker as someone broadly acceptable to Americans—an old-style Republican devoted to familiar conservative causes, such as fiscal restraint and national security.

☆ In a Chaotic House, the Next Speaker Must Unite These Three Factions
  + stars: | 2023-10-10 | by ( Kara Dapena | Aaron Zitner | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Speaker candidates Reps. Steve Scalise of Louisiana and Jim Jordan of Ohio must unite an unruly group of House Republicans with diverse political needs and interests. On the political right, about 40 members belong to the Freedom Caucus, who are among the most fiscally conservative and often refuse to compromise on their views. By contrast, 18 House Republicans represent districts that President Biden won in 2020, and all but one lean toward the political center.

But it was just the latest act in a rebellion among conservative lawmakers and voters that has been unfolding for 13 years—one that has promoted and then discarded the past three Republican speakers.
