It’s common knowledge that good performance in midterm elections hinges on one key issue: the economy.
The Left knows this, and it knows that Trump’s economy is not only doing better than last year at this time during the Biden administration, but it’s doing better than any time in history.
Victor Davis Hanson explains the strategy behind the Democrats’ attempt to distract Americans from booming growth before the 2026 midterms on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”
“The economy is going to boom in 2026 and the Left knows that.
“So, what is their strategy?
“Don’t talk about the Trump economy.
“And we’ve seen what?
“Go after Tesla.
“Firebomb Tesla dealerships.
“Drive Tesla off, automobiles off the road because Elon Musk was the prince of darkness and he was involved in DOGE.
“Demonize DOGE.
“Go after ICE.
“Have street theater.
“Have riots.
“Call them Gestapo.
“Say they’re worse than Hitler.
“Go after the National Guard that has cleaned up Washington, D.C.
“Encourage massive resistance.
“Call it illegal.
“Shut down the government.”
