Maga is crumbling: How Trump is dragging his party into the abyss before the midterms
Trump’s high-profile role is fueling Democratic gains as Republicans struggle to defend once-safe seats and donors seek millions more for vulnerable Senate races.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump announced an aggressive October campaign schedule across battleground and deep-red states, urging supporters to treat the midterm election as a referendum on his presidency by pretending he is on the ballot.
- Facing a "f*cking rough" midterm outlook, the Republican Party struggles with Trump's disapproval rating hitting 60.4% this week, driven by voter frustration over rising grocery prices and the war with Iran.
- Republican-Aligned groups plan to spend $166 million to boost the Texas attorney general, yet operatives warn that defending red strongholds robs resources from competitive states, with one donor telling Politico, "The problem is that the fires are everywhere right now."
- Advisers privately acknowledge that the mood has "soured" among Trump's inner circle, warning that personalizing the midterms risks backfiring by serving as a "driving force for Democratic voters" who oppose him.
- Pollster Frank Luntz warned Monday that relying on Trump's star power is a "very dangerous strategy," especially with Democrats holding an 8.4-point lead on the generic congressional ballot, creating a challenging path for GOP candidates.
