“She is a staunch conservative and was a close ally of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.”
I hope you’re right, but it takes balls to stand up to the Globalists. In fact, she’ll probably have to also fight off Rubio’s people, whether Trump knows that or not.
Abe would be a centrist today and I would consider Takaichi center right rather than a staunch conservative.
Anyone “fighting off Rubio’s people” is a communist.
