The latest news and live updates on the Republican debate featuring some of the top candidates this evening. Learn more about what’s being said and why it matters.
As we now know, that didn’t happen. Inflation began declining in the fall, and now sits just above 3%. Work remains to be done, which is reflected in the fact Biden hasn’t benefited politically as much as he would hope.
But while price rises will make an appearance tonight, and Republicans will offer the same mix of laissez-faire and tax cuts that’s failed time and again, inflation won’t be the cudgel the GOP hoped for.I worked for a GOP presidential campaign. Here's what I'm watching for tonight.Elise Jordan, an MSNBC political analyst and former policy adviser to Sen. Rand Paul's 2016 presidential campaign, shares her thoughts ahead of tonight's debate.My contrarian take: Ron DeSantis needs to survive the attacks and stay afloat. He benefits from lowered expectations. Tim Scott reaps the windfall if DeSantis gets pummeled. He would emerge with his nice guy reputation intact after other candidates did the dirty work. Vivek Ramaswamy needs to show substance and prove he’s more than the sugar-high, flavor-of-the-month candidate — a tall order since he’s never been on a major debate stage. Chris Christie will be the most vocal, caustic and compelling Trump critic, so he’s getting attention tonight, albeit attention that currently repels almost two-thirds of the GOP primary electorate who still like Trump. How effectively will Christie be able to make his case against Trump and peel off some of the Trump supporters who are starting to doubt his electability? Nikki Haley and Asa Hutchinson need to have a moment, big time, or they both could be out of the race sooner rather than later. Both candidates need a political miracle of a moment akin to Ronald Reagan’s “I am paying for this microphone” to stay in the race. Same with Mike Pence, too. The most unknown face on the stage, Doug Burgum stands to gain some critical national name ID, especially if he’s on stage with crutches! We’ll see tonight if he’s auditioning for a Cabinet post in the next Republican administration or if he has the elusive political “it” factor.4h ago / 11:33 PM UTCIf Republican candidates promise tonight that they know how to grow the economy and add jobs, know that a resounding rebuttal to that fiction exists approximately 30 miles due south from the Milwaukee stage. There lies the town of Mount Pleasant, where in 2018 Trump, then-Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and leaders of the Taiwanese company Foxconn broke ground on a new manufacturing campus. For a whopping $3 billion in tax credits, Foxconn promised 13,000 new jobs. Then-President Donald Trump and then-Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin, left, and Foxconn Chairman Terry Gou, right, participate in a groundbreaking event for a Foxconn facility in Mt. Pleasant, Wisconsin.Five years later, roughly 1,000 workers are employed at the site, far shy of the job initially promised,. Its signature glass globe sits largely empty. Within a year of the groundbreaking, Foxconn was already backtracking on building a factory. Fortunately, Walker’s Democratic successor, Tony Evers, was able to reduce the tax credits after Trump left the White House to “merely” $80 million for 1,500 jobs. Unfortunately, by then state and local governments were already in the midst of spending some $500 million to acquire and develop the land., “This is what the last 40 years of what passed in America for government-directed economic development looked like.” Even many Democrats adopted this “business knows best” strategy, though that’s finally changed under President Joe Biden and the Inflation Reduction Act. But both establishment Republicans like Walker and faux-populists like Trump still cheer giving away loads of money to businesses with no strings attached. And on the debate stage tonight, we’ll likely hear Republicans espouse this failed doctrine again.
