LARRY KUDLOW: Keep your backbone, traditional Republicans, this is no time to go wobbly

Commentator Larry Kudlow is disputing pollster warnings that Republicans could lose the House and perhaps the Senate because traditional party voters may stay home. The theory holds that the Dallas Convention energized President Trump's MAGA base but neglected those voters. Kudlow calls the distinction unhelpful semantics and says the stakes are too high for labels, according to Fox Business.

He argues a Democratic win would mean open borders, an end to fossil fuels, Medicare for All, more crime, $10 gasoline and a revival of woke politics, DEI and antisemitism, plus the lawfare proposed by Senator Elissa Slotkin. Having worked for both Reagan and Trump, he calls himself a pro-growth, free-enterprise conservative.

What the party needs, he says, is the optimism of Newt Gingrich, who is writing about a coming golden age of surging growth, falling inflation and advancing technology. Kudlow recalls being outside Atlanta when Gingrich won in 1994, and he plans to spend his next 11 broadcasts and two Sunday shows urging a vote for free enterprise over socialism. "There's still time," he says.
