Patricia Murphy: A Trump mandate - cheaper eggs or a free Matt Gaetz?

(Atlanta Journal-Constitution) The only difficulty with winning an election by a large margin, as President-elect Donald Trump did last week, is accurately reading the message that voters were trying to send you.

Focus on the fundamentals, and you could be the next generational leader. But overreach and aim wrong, and you and your party will be right back out of power.

The message of the November elections was clear. By far the biggest concerns I heard from voters across the country in 2024 were anxieties over the economy and the soaring cost of living. Prices for houses, cars, even breakfast cereal and milk soared during the COVID-19 pandemic and never came back down to Earth. Since President Joe Biden didn’t fix it, voters hope Trump will.
