Trump May Be Crude But Baltimore Really Is Spiraling That S Why I Left Opinion

I left Baltimore for all of those reasons, as well as some I don’t remember. I’m not alone. In 1950, Baltimore was home to about 950,000 residents. By 2010, that number plunged to 620,000. The estimates for 2018 hovered around 602,000. That’s not a population loss. That’s an exodus. Baltimore’s population is at its lowest level in 100 years. Anyone who’s ever seen HBO’s The Wire knows why: Baltimore has its own special and very tragic problems....

Trump Poised To Steal Credit From J.B. Pritzker For Illinois Maga Win

Bailey, a fervent Trump supporter in a deeply conservative district in central Illinois, earned the former president’s endorsement just three days before the Republican primary. And while Trump is poised to claim credit for his candidate’s success, Bailey can attribute his victory to Governor J.B. Pritzker. That’s because Pritzker and other state Democrats made Bailey’s opponent—Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin, the former front-runner in the GOP race—a target. This inadvertently gave Bailey a boost among conservative voters while securing the position of a candidate Pritzker is more likely to defeat in the general election....

Trump S Chances Of Winning In 2024 Surge With Bookmakers As President Mulls Run In 4 Years
