asserted
market → cheer → victory
Then again, that’s pretty much what Democrats here vow to do if they gain power on Tuesday — and even more so if they take the White House in 2028.

Slotkin → guarantee → way

uncertain
it → grow → leftists
Add in Dems’ obsessive lawfare against Trump & Co. — with not a hint of regret even now — and everyone who threatens to get in the hard left’s way has serious reason to fear.
