Dr. Brian Joondeph discusses his recent commentary Forget Michelle Obama or Gavin Newsom–Dems’ Choice to Replace Biden is Nikki Haley. In his speculative commentary, Joondeph toys with the idea of Nikki Haley running as a Democratic candidate, highlighting the peculiarities of her political positions, such as her support for open borders, which starkly contrasts with traditional Republican beliefs. This speculation is not just a critique of Haley’s ideological alignment but also reflects on the broader political landscape, where there’s a noticeable disillusionment with the current Democratic leadership, particularly Biden and Harris. Joondeph suggests that given this context, Haley might emerge as a more appealing option for Democrats. Additionally, in a separate piece, he crafts a hypothetical speech for Donald Trump, aimed at an upcoming rally. This speech, as envisioned by Joondeph, is designed to bolster Trump’s appeal among voters who prioritize stricter immigration policies, indicating Joondeph’s engagement with current political strategies and the shifting dynamics within the Republican party.

Kenneth De Graf on HB 24-1017
Kenneth DeGraaf, representing District 22, discusses HB 24-1017, a proposed bill aimed at establishing a bill of rights for foster children. DeGraaf expressed concerns over the bill, particularly highlighting its provisions that offer protections for LGBT youth. He argues that these protections could potentially be unfair to Christian foster parents, suggesting a conflict between the bill’s intent to safeguard the rights of foster children and the values held by some foster families within his constituency.
