From “Kevin McCarthy Surprised Us All,” the latest “Conversation” from N.Y. Times columnists Bret Stephens and Gail Collins:
Stephens on New Hampshire Primary Republicans: “Chris Christie should get out now and throw his support behind Nikki Haley. The only reason he got in the race in the first place was to chuck spears at Trump. It hit the wrong Donald — Duck, not Trump — and now all Christie is doing is dividing the anti-Trump field.
“I also wish Mike Pence would recognize reality and tuck back into bed with his wife of 38 years. That would give Haley a fighting chance to further destroy Vivek Ramaswamy and replace Ron DeSantis as the most plausible Republican alternative to Trump. But I have to admit, my hopes of Trump not being the nominee are dwindling fast.”
New Zogby poll sheds some light on the RFK situation.
