MenuTrump Faces Trouble in AlaskaOpening up the Tongass Forest to logging would lead to economic and political losses.Editor's PicksSign up to receiveHot OffThe Pressecent polling has shown President Trump to have just a narrow two-point lead over&nbsp;Joe Biden in six key battleground states. Campaigning has undoubtedly been made difficult for both sides by the widespread lockdowns caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with delayed primaries. This polling seems to paint a picture that President Trump has an uphill battle in shoring up the states he&nbsp;won&nbsp;in 2016.

And the Tongass is also a mecca for industry.Is there money to be made in lifting the Roadless Rule and allowing logging? Past evidence shows the answer is “no.”cost&nbsp;Frank Donatelli served as an assistant for political affairs to President Reagan, as deputy chairman of the Republican National Committee during the 2008 presidential campaign of John McCain, and as the executive vice president and director at McGuire Woods Consulting.Craig Shirley is a Ronald Reagan biographer and presidential historian.
