People who reject Trump as a role-model and a statesman, but reject the “woke culture,” even more. These people are exhausted by nightly images of rioters and looters allowed to run amuck. They’re sick of the incessant virtue signaling from every quarter of society. They're weary of cancel culture, safe spaces, “mostly peaceful” protests, the 1619 Project, and the countless attacks on free speech, and lectures from what they believe to be a completely biased media. For them, Trump is not a candidate - he's a giant middle finger to those who would suppress the Hunter Biden story, or re-edit Gone With the Wind, or rewrite Huck Finn, or disrespect our flag, or topple statues of anyone who doesn't measure up to their enlightened sensibilities. For these people, a vote for Trump is the only way to confront the "wokeness" that now defines big media, higher education, corporate America, Hollywood, and professional sports." It's the only way to say, "Enough already."

Rep. Max Rose (D-N.Y.) conceded his House race against Republican challenger Nicole Malliotakis on Thursday, paving the way for the GOP to retake one of the most competitive districts in the nation.

Malliotakis, a member of the New York State Assembly, is also poised to join the growing number of Republican women who won election to the House this year.

Rose said in a statement that he had called Malliotakis to congratulate her on winning the race, while vowing "a smooth transition."
