making news by abandoning decades old policy of strategic ambiguity and saying the united states would fight for taiwan if it is attacked by china. you didn t want to get involved in the ukraine conflict militarily. are you willing to get involved militarily to defend taiwan if it comes to that? yes. you are? that s the commitment we made. the white house immediately walked that back, saying the policy has not changed. in ukraine, a russian soldier sentenced to live in prison by a kyiv judge after pleading guilty in the shooting death of a 62-year-old ukrainian civilian in the early days of the invasion. and ukrainian military officials say russia is escalating its offensive throughout the donbas region. and there is some relief coming for millions of parents today as the second major delivery of baby formula is expected to arrive wednesday as part of the biden administration s operation fly formula. the first shipment arrived in indiana sunday and being shipped
mixed results here nationally. but what i would suggest we re starting to see is in races for the state house and gubernatorial races there s a lot more running room for these candidates. if you think how glenn youngkin in virginia ran on these issues but tried to distance himself from trump without criticizing trump. brian kemp has done the same thing. i m going to run on a hard right platform but i m not going to get mixed up in the trump story. ron desantis in florida exactly the same thing. i think in the state houses it s easier to communicate why focusing on governance instead of trump might be more effective. in terms of the national body politic of republicans, this remains donald trump s party until somebody takes it from him. maya, about that georgia senate primary that herschel walker seems totally in control of, how does that shape up face
talked about toni morrison and the book beloved. all of this fell under the education banner. by the way, i should say, too, woke. education and wokeness. this idea that democrats want to teach kids things that shouldn t be taught. they think all of this is fine. parents may not all think it is fine. it fell under a broad banner. it is weird that education was the issue that a republican in virginia ran and won on. i think you will see a lot of anti-woke rhetoric coming out of campaigns. and a lot of republicans try to walk that line between you trumpy enough for the trump base to stay with you. not too trumpy for independent and suburban voters. given credit, he ran an
