Republicans are using the Democratic Socialists of America and high prices to press a message aimed at voters worried about the economy.

  • As summer ends, Democrats and Republicans are beginning a two-month sprint to the general election with fundamentally different campaign strategies centered on the DSA and the economy.
  • National gas prices averaged $4.18 last week, the fifth consecutive week exceeding $4, yet the Republican National Committee cited the word "Democrat" 73 times in this month's talking points.
  • Republican strategist David Urban acknowledged the party's message "has limits. That's not going to work everywhere," while describing the war in Iran as "a mess" dragging the economy.

  • The choice of campaign messages will determine whether Republican President Donald Trump and his party maintain full control of Washington for the next two years, shaping the nation's direction.
