A few years back with the Republican President in the Oval Office, everything was in decent order. There was no Russian aggression or war in Ukraine. China was in check. The Middle East was stable. American economy despite COVID-19 was smooth. Now look around…. the first time ever Iran has directly attacked Israel. Middle East peace is moving away. The American economy is not doing well. Housing prices have doubled. Michael Whatley RNC Chairman
