US Politics: Catering to Iran

Likely trying to appease her Hispanic constituents so she gets re-elected, then back to norm of cheering Trump soon after.

2024

Salazar: The deportation is going to be among those criminals who are the gang members, the gotaways, the Tren de Aragua.

Reporter: Not all 200,000 undocumented in your community? Is that what you’re saying?

Salazar: I am sure that the Trump administration is not going to be targeting those people who have been here for more than five years that have American kids, that don't have criminal records, that have been working in the economy and paying taxes.I am sure that they're going to hone in on the criminals who arrived less than four years ago because I wrote the Dignity Act, and I am the first one who understands that you have to give some type of dignity to those who have been here for more than five years, people who have roots in the country, not people who are coming to commit crimes.


 

Despite the big swing, it leads only to an overall gap of 2 percentage points, which is tiny and can be erased given the time left.

The poll, which was conducted for The Cook Political Report by Democratic firm New River Strategies and Republican firm GS Strategy Group, surveyed voters in the 37 districts we rate as Toss Up, Lean Republican or Lean Democrat. In those competitive districts, which Trump won by an average of five points in 2024, Democrats now hold a two-point advantage on the generic congressional ballot, 49% to 47%.

But the Dems do have sizable leads amongst independents on issues that matter, which is what would worry Republicans:

Jennings: The Russia-Ukraine war has cut down on refining capacity. I would argue that decades of Democrats trying to squash refining capacity has also not allowed us to do that.

Phillip: You were arguing up until this moment that Trump had restored energy dominance, and we didn't even need the oil coming out of the strait of hormuz. For you to now say it's because other presidents reduced our refining capacity that we're in this position, that doesn’t make sense.

Jennings: Are you arguing that the ukraine-russia war has had no impact on refining?

Phillip: Prices are high around the globe, are largely because of the war in Iran, and to some extent because of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine that Donald Trump promised he would solve on day one. And we are 18 months into his presidency, and we're not even close

🤡Jennings: How do you know? What if they solve it tomorrow?

This is what $6 diesel and tariffs do to small business

People who actually still make things in America.

But this is the real plan behind tariffs. Kill small business.
