Can Nikki Haley’s ‘Strategy of Conviction’ Beat Trump?

The Distrustful Generation – WSJ

Editor’s note: In this Future View, students discuss declining trust in American governmental and political institutions. Next week we’ll ask, “Nearly half of Americans 18 to 29 favor socialism. Why does this generation seem so divided from older generations? Has social media played a large role? Academic institutions? Or is Gen Z less divided from older generations than we think?” Students should click here to submit opinions of fewer than 250 words before Dec. 5. The best responses will be published that night.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 87990cbe856818d5eddac44c7b1cdeb8
