Nevertheless, with gas well over $4 a gallon and the president’s approval rating at an astonishing 30 percent in one new poll, change appears likely. Democrats need a playbook. A euphoric party will face immediate challenges. There will be calls from the base for action, accountability, and even impeachment. Frustrated voters who gave Democrats another chance will want to see pocketbook issues improve. Yet Democrats will almost certainly lack the votes to override President Trump’s vetoes of bills seeking to end the Iran war and roll back tariffs, two of the main drivers of the inflation and growing economic pessimism that have placed the GOP in this dire position. Democrats have run against the price of gas, but won’t have the power to ease pain at the pump themselves. If Democrats aren’t careful, voters might wheel on them next. One thing is certain: Impeachment is not the answer. Many members of Trump’s inner circle, notably Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and FBI director Kash Patel, could warrant removal. But any focus on impeachment misreads why the electorate has turned on the president and squanders enormous time and resources.

Sidharth Sahni/Newton North High SchoolWith two weeks left in the football regular season, it’s time to consider playoff positioning.
