Republicans are doubling down with culture war attacks and a bold $5K stimulus promise if they win Congress, while touting economic wins and immigration control. But Trump’s fading approval—especially on economy and immigration—exposes cracks in his core appeal. His influence still looms large: JD Vance praises him, and Trump actively backs GOP candidates, even as some fear the baggage. With 2028 looming, the party’s future hinges on whether Trump’s charisma can outlast his controversies. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
