"Republicans Focus on Canada-U.S. Border Security"

Republican presidential candidates are increasingly focusing on the northern border with Canada as a key issue, with concerns about illegal crossings and national security. Despite significantly lower apprehensions compared to the southern border, GOP candidates are pledging increased resources and border protection measures, including building a wall, to address the perceived problem. However, a recent poll shows that while some Republican voters are concerned, the majority of New Hampshire voters are not as worried about the northern border. Democrats view the focus on the northern border as an attempt to stoke fears among the GOP base, while Senate negotiators are working on a bipartisan immigration package that could bring changes to both borders.

"Moms for Liberty: Shaping the Political Landscape in Pennsylvania"

GOP presidential candidates are vying for the support of Moms for Liberty, a powerful faction of the Republican Party that has gained influence through its endorsements in local school board races. Moms for Liberty, which aims to defend parental rights, has successfully backed conservative candidates who have implemented policy changes in schools, such as banning books with "sexualized content" and implementing neutrality policies that restrict LGBTQ pride symbols and preferred pronouns. While the group does not plan to endorse a presidential candidate, its growing membership and messaging networks have propelled state legislation and inspired progressive groups seeking to counter its influence.
