The Spin
Right narrative
Reynolds is an up-and-coming leader with a strong record who's pushed for in person instruction, tax cuts, and public safety. She's the perfect foil to Biden who is is out of touch with Americans on free speech, free thought, and economic freedom.
Left narrative
Reynolds, a staunch backer of former President Trump, is an example of how the GOP has failed on COVID policy and continues to stage distracting attacks by weaponizing critical race theory.
