The Las Vegas Review-Journal is throwing its support behind former President Donald J. Trump, emphasizing his proven leadership, economic accomplishments, and ability to handle foreign policy challenges. The newspaper describes the current political landscape as unsettling, with “political norms strewn across the landscape.” In this chaotic atmosphere, the Review-Journal argues that Trump offers the chance for a more stable and prosperous future.
The newspaper describes the litany of criminal charges Trump is facing as “prosecutorial overreach” aimed at derailing his campaign. It highlights his strong record as president, noting that “the Earth didn’t stop spinning.”
“Instead, his presidency was marked by relative global stability and a strong American economy. Inflation was an afterthought,” the newspaper observes.

The Review-Journal contrasts this with life under the Biden-Harris government:
“Two major wars rage. The debt has ballooned to $35 trillion. Inflation hit 9 percent, the highest rate in four decades, in large part because Democrats can’t temper their insatiable desire to spend other people’s money. Prices for staples remain stubbornly elevated. Housing costs have soared, including in Las Vegas. High interest rates make it more difficult for new homebuyers and burden families carrying credit card and other debt. If this weren’t destructive enough, Ms. Harris and Mr. Biden turned a blind eye to the border for three years, releasing millions of illegal crossers into the country and causing mayors in blue cities to cry uncle.”
The newspaper underscores Harris’s inconsistency on key issues, from immigration to fracking, and her lack of substantial leadership qualities. They argue that Harris “shape-shifts” her policies to fit the moment and “carefully avoids [ing] any unscripted interviews” so she is not exposed.
“Donald Trump is the better choice,” the Review-Journal asserts, citing his economic instincts, his ability to handle foreign policy challenges, and the fact that even on key Democratic issues like abortion, he is far less extreme than the Vice President: “His position on abortion—that he would veto a federal ban and that the matter should be left up to the states—is more mainstream than Ms. Harris’s belief that the procedure should be legal till the moment of birth,” the paper argues.
