【ダラス時事】米テキサス州ダラスで開かれた与党共和党大会では、バンス副大統領が最終日10日の基調演説に臨み、11月の中間選挙での勝利を誓った。2028年大統領選の共和党の有力候補に取り沙汰されるバンス氏にとって、党内での注目度と求心力を高める機会となった一方で、中間選挙の結果次第では、責任の一端を問われかねないリスクもはらむ。

やじに怒り「メキシコへ行け」 バンス米副大統領―米中間選挙

バンス氏は冒頭、「この国がより貧しく危険になりつつあることに気付いたがために、人種差別主義者呼ばわりされることにわれわれはうんざりしていた」と聴衆に呼び掛け、共感を誘った。次期大統領(48代)を意味する「48」を連呼する声が会場に響くと、「まず11月にやるべきことに取り組まなければならない。先を考えるのはそれからだ」と笑みを浮かべる場面もあった。

貧しい家庭で育ったバンス氏は、草の根保守層に支持基盤を持つ政治家と見なされ、トランプ大統領の岩盤支持層「MAGA(マガ)」の間で一定の評価を得ている。対抗馬と目されるのが、MAGAに属さない伝統的保守派が期待を寄せるルビオ国務長官だ。

ルビオ氏は外遊のため党大会出席を見送ったが、ベセント財務長官やケネディ厚生長官ら複数の閣僚も参加する中で、ルビオ氏の「不在」は逆に目立つ結果となった。

党大会に参加したダラスの建設業ウェス・ホランドさんは、「良い候補だ」とバンス氏を評価。その直後、「私はマルコ(ルビオ)が好きだ。すごく賢い」と打ち明けた。

参加者の一人で、労働者家庭の出身だというテキサス州エルパソの学生イーサン・ジョンソンさんは「今のところはバンス支持だ」と話した。「『もしかしたらマルコの方がいいかもしれない』と思わせる何かが出てくるまでは、この立場を変えるつもりはない」。

Centrist Reform Coalition decides to disband, leaving only one member remaining due to receipt of approximately 1.1 billion yen in political party subsidies, sparking criticism

Although the Centrist Reform Alliance decided to disband the party, it has indicated that it will continue to exist for the time being, leaving one lawmaker in place in order to receive approximately 1.1 billion yen in party subsidies. Representative Junya Ogawa explains that the purpose of the move is to pay for the House of Representatives election, but there are voices on social media pointing out the contradiction with the Liberal Democratic Party's criticism of slush funds, making it unclear whether they will gain understanding amid soaring prices. The Constitutional Democratic Party-affiliated party was to form a new party, and the Komeito-affiliated party was to rejoin the party, but because they are considered a "split faction" under the Political Party Subsidy Act and cannot receive unfunded funds, they have decided to postpone ``splitting (splitting),'' which would take a long time to complete.

The government and ruling party have announced that, in conjunction with the food consumption tax cut starting in April next year, they will create special and transitional measures for things such as changing price tags and pre-order sales at retail stores. However, with such a short preparation period, the system could become complicated, leading to confusion among business operators and consumers. Support for agriculture, forestry and fisheries workers and the restaurant industry has also been raised as an issue.

The treatment of Secretary-General Junichi Ishii is the focus of the House of Councilors Liberal Democratic Party's personnel affairs, perhaps due to his feud with the prime minister?

It is expected that personnel changes to the Liberal Democratic Party in the House of Councilors will be made soon in line with the cabinet reshuffle and personnel changes to LDP executives. The focus is on the treatment of House of Councilors Secretary-General Junichi Ishii, and it is said that his feud with Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is behind this. However, House of Councilors personnel affairs are considered a ``sanctuary'' beyond the prime minister's authority, and House of Councilors Chairman Seiji Matsuyama holds the actual authority over personnel affairs. Mr. Ishii is well-versed in the management of the Diet and has created the Diet calendar, known as the ``Ishii Calendar,'' but reportedly had a rift with the prime minister over budget deliberations at the special session of the Diet. Mr. Ishii revealed to those involved that he said, ``I don't care which way I go. If I am removed, I will have no role.''
