Conservative voices: Avoid Trump - let the election be about "the ass in the White House"
Conservative American writers are extremely doubtful whether Donald Trump is the right presidential candidate for the Republicans. The New York Post editorial says that President Joe Biden is a "disaster" but that it will take someone other than Trump to defeat him.
The editorial board sees Biden and the media that only talks about Trump. They write that Trump likes to attract attention, but fears that such an election campaign will divert attention away from the misery the Democrats are causing.
"Everyone will be talking about the elephant in the room instead of the ass in the White House.
"
In a column in the National Review, Charles Cooke asks what the Republican electorate's plans are if they end up voting for Trump. He refers to a series of polls which he believes show that the general public "hate" Trump.
He doesn't see how the ex-president will succeed in attracting new voters outside the sphere where Trump loyalists only surround themselves with like-minded people. Biden has lousy confidence numbers, but that doesn't change the fact that a majority of Americans say they would "definitely not" vote for Trump, writes Cooke.
"The warning signs could not be clearer."

Biden's financial policy receives a low rating - 36 percent are satisfied
President Joe Biden gets an underrated rating for the way he handles the US economy. This is shown by a new survey at the request of AP.
Only 36 percent think he is doing a good job on the economy, compared to 42 percent for his performance as a whole. The numbers are roughly at the same levels since a year and a half ago, when Biden is now approaching the re-election campaign.
Teacher Erica Basile, who describes herself as a "reliable Democrat," tells the AP that she thinks the economy is "mediocre, but improving."

The 2024 EU elections
The clock is ticking towards EU elections – heavy questions still unresolved
The EU is in a "race against the clock" to deal with a long list of tough issues ahead of next year's elections. That's what Euractiv writes, which notes that some election campaigns have already started stealthily.
The EU site goes through some of the most important issues. In addition to the war in Ukraine, stormy debates about the EU's finances await after some agreement during the pandemic. Before the election, the EU also hopes, among other things, to conclude the negotiations on creating sustainable and fair trade chains and to agree on the transport targets.
The EU elections are held at the beginning of June.
