Key artists pulled out over the event’s overtly partisan tone, prompting the president to tout it as his “biggest rally ever” with a self-curated soundtrack. With approval ratings stuck at 37%, critics highlight costly vanity projects like the Lincoln Memorial repairs and allege misuse of taxpayer funds. Economically, inflation outpaces wages, the deficit swells, and AI-driven growth comes at the cost of middle-class jobs. While past rallies energized bases, this event—held four months before midterms—is seen by experts as unlikely to sway the election.
