Summary

From the Supreme Court’s latest ruling on racial gerrymandering to rising tensions with Iran and the broader cultural and political shifts happening across the country, Victor Davis Hanson argues the United States is in the middle of a major transition. “We’re not just dealing with policy disagreements. We’re dealing with a fundamental transformation of the country.” He also points to growing instability abroad and what it means for America’s role on the world stage. “We had operational success, but we didn’t follow through strategically. That leaves Iran weakened, but not finished.” WHERE TO WATCH: 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest editions of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words” by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.
