Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : He believes in small government and opposes the concept of bureaucratic discretion, and he analogizes the growth of the federal government to that of the titular villain in the 1958 horror movie "The Blob," growing larger and more aggressive with each lifeform it consumes.
58% : While American views on gender identity are complex, Republicans, according to polling by Pew, are largely skeptical of the validity of transgender people.
48% : It was Republican attorneys general who neutered most of Biden's efforts to cancel student loan debt and an attorney general's defense of a state law that ultimately led to the overturning of the national abortion rights protections previously enshrined under Roe v. Wade.
45% : Attorney General says Clemson football announces death of former player Charleston County sends unpopular Johns Island road plan back to the drawing board ESPN College GameDay returning to ColumbiaIn the wake of the 2020 presidential election, Wilson and the Republican Attorneys General Association, which he led at the time, filed multiple legal actions in battleground states around the country aimed at overturning the result in favor of Trump -- a move he claims was to defend the status quo of state election laws.
40% : And like in his fights against federal protections against same-sex marriage, Wilson has argued that his qualms are not mired in policy or whether the LGBTQ community deserves equal rights, but how those aims were accomplished.
38% : At the time of the fight for same-sex marriage, Wilson argued it was a state's right to decide whose marriage could and whose marriage could not be recognized by the state.
26% : Trump was found guilty.
13% : Versus Joe BidenDuring the Biden presidency, Wilson has mounted multiple challenges to changes to federal Title IX protections intended to protect transgender students from discrimination in public schools.
