With the first Republican presidential debate rapidly approaching, the candidates who have thus far qualified for the main stage are preparing to face off in their first head-to-head primary debates.

Trump’s absence from the debate stage could have a significant impact on the race, as it will give his opponents a chance to directly attack him without fear of retaliation. It remains to be seen whether Trump’s decision to skip the debate will ultimately benefit him or hurt his campaign, but it is sure to be a major talking point in the lead-up to the debate and beyond.

Sharp elbows and raised voices: Inside Trump’s bumpy transition
The Trump administration’s transition has been marked by infighting, delays, and missteps, according to a new report.
One source told the Times that the Trump team is “a mess” and that “there is no clear leadership.” Another source said that “there are a lot of sharp elbows and raised voices.”
The report also details how the Trump team has alienated some key allies, including Vice President Mike Pence and former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
Pence has reportedly been sidelined by Trump, who has favored his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, instead. Flynn was ousted after just 24 days in office, after it was revealed that he had misled the vice president about his contacts with Russian officials.
The report concludes that the Trump administration is still finding its footing and that it is unclear how it will handle the challenges ahead.

How Trump Can Release Biden’s Regulatory Brake
Biden’s regulatory policies may seem like a runaway train, but there are ways to pull the brakes. One option is for the Trump administration to take a proactive approach. By rolling back regulations that were implemented during the Obama era, the administration can create a more favorable environment for businesses and encourage economic growth.
Of course, this approach would also have its consequences. Rolling back regulations could lead to increased pollution, weakened consumer protections, and other negative effects. Therefore, any action taken by the Trump administration must be carefully considered. However, one thing is clear, Biden’s regulatory policies are already having a significant impact on the economy. By taking a proactive approach, the Trump administration can help mitigate these effects and create a more sustainable path forward.
