Quick Glance: Leo Varadkar: A Populist Who Struggled with Real People
- In May 2002, a young party activist analyzed the defeat of Fine Gael under Michael Noonan, emphasizing that none of the former leaders were the expected messiah for the party.
- Leo Varadkar's political legacy comprises valuable contributions, but he was never seen as a savior of the party. His ability to navigate contradictions made him a skilled politician, but he ultimately realized he couldn't balance on the political tightrope indefinitely.
- Varadkar was described as a politician who straddled conservatism and an increasingly progressive society. Despite his rapid rise in politics and popularity during crises, he struggled to address long-term challenges in areas like healthcare and housing.
- His popularity peaked during the Brexit crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic, where he was seen as a unifying and authoritative leader. However, he failed to effectively tackle long-term structural issues in Ireland, especially in healthcare and housing, as his neoliberal views did not offer compelling solutions.

Wyoming Sen. Barrasso will run for No. 2 spot in GOP leadership, narrowing race to replace McConnell
apnews.com/article/barrasso-mcconnell-senate-republican-leadership-b93718dec1722e2e8fb4bc6aaa56d3a6
Quick Glance: Trump Ally Barrasso Steps Back from McConnell Succession Race
- Republican Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) has opted to run for the position of Assistant Republican Leader this year instead of joining Senators John Cornyn (R-Tex.) and John Thune (R-S.D.) in a bid for leader, as confirmed by Axios.
- Barrasso was favored by the more conservative bloc in the Senate and has the closest relationship with former President Trump among the 'three Johns.' His exit could pave the way for a new conservative contender.
- Barrasso holds the third-highest position among Senate Republicans as conference chair, and neither Thune nor Cornyn can run for GOP whip again due to term limits. This makes Barrasso almost a shoo-in.
- "I have had time to reflect on how I might best serve the Republican Conference and our country," said Barrasso in a statement on Tuesday morning.
