The Daily CallerMay 6, 20240

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s ill-fated 2024 presidential campaign was much criticized for being “too online.” But Democrats are no less prone to fall into that same trap.

Indeed, that a loud political — within a party or across the broader electorate–can drown out a less vocal political majority is now a fixture of our politics, helpfully explained by public choice theory. President Joe Biden, now

The Daily CallerApril 30, 20240

The Biden administration argues for taxing capital income for high-income earners at
