Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has effectively surrendered New Hampshire and re-focused his struggling campaign on South Carolina. Trump is vulnerable in New Hampshire largely because of its moderate tradition. Читать дальше...

Colorado Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert is moving from the mountains to run for election on the plains. While her new district is more conservative, Republican voters wait with a hands-on-hips skepticism for a good explanation. The move is the latest in Boebert’s string of headline-grabbers as a divisive far-right lawmaker, which has thrust her onto the national stage with a brand of white-hot, far-right political activism.
