Republican Anxiety Grows as Races Test Trump Strength

Bloomberg: “From a national perspective, Tuesday’s election is poised to provide one of the first real tests of how voters in Republican strongholds are reacting to Trump’s agenda, including his focus on tariffs and immigration, as well as Elon Musk’s drastic reshaping of the federal bureaucracy. Democrats have been outpacing the GOP in fundraising in a second Florida race as well.”

“At stake isn’t just Trump’s perceived popularity. Any loss would narrow the GOP’s razor-thin majority in the House of Representatives, where the party holds 218 seats to the Democrats’ 213. Already, the White House has showed how worried it is about that majority by withdrawing New York congresswoman Elise Stefanik’s nomination to be US ambassador to the United Nations.”
