Steve Daines cornered Trump\u2019s team, demanding to know when the president would finally pivot from bashing fellow Republicans to targeting political opponents. The Montana lawmaker\u2019s question captured a growing panic inside the GOP, where lawmakers are privately exasperated by Trump\u2019s relentless feuds with other members of his party, even as vulnerable Democrats escape his wrath.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Senate Majority Leader John Thune stressed the urgent need to capture swing voters in Maine, Michigan, and North Carolina, while Latcham sought to reassure the room about tight coordination between the White House, the National Republican Senatorial Committee, and MAGA Inc.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s foreign policy obsessions have also hijacked his party\u2019s political agenda. Back in January, his intense fixation on the U.S. capture of Venezuelan leader Nicol\u00e1s Maduro triggered widespread frustration among aides and lawmakers who wanted him focused on inflation and healthcare, according to Reuters. <\/p>\n<p>White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, her then deputy James Blair\u2014who took a leave of absence in April to run Trump\u2019s outside political and midterm operations\u2014and Vice President JD Vance repeatedly had to steer internal meetings back to domestic concerns.<\/p>\n<p>Months later, Trump has swapped Venezuela for an ongoing war in Iran\u2014and voters are punishing Republicans for the fallout. A fresh Reuters\/Ipsos poll shows 37 percent of registered voters now trust Democrats to handle the economy compared to 36 percent for Republicans, marking the first time Democrats have led on economic stewardship since May 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5040\">MAGA Rep Flamed for Telling Gen-Z to \u2018Eat Ramen\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The economic drag is hitting Americans directly at the pump, with national gas prices jumping to around $4.06 per gallon\u2014nearly 40 percent higher than the $2.98 drivers paid on Feb. 27, right before Trump launched his war on Iran, according to AAA data.<\/p>\n<p>The economic pressure has pushed Trump\u2019s approval rating down to 35 percent in the Reuters\/Ipsos survey, just a single point above his second-term low. <\/p>\n<p>Predictably, the 80-year-old president blew a fuse on Truth Social, railing against \u201cRadical Left\u2019s Fake Poll numbers\u201d and insisting his \u201cREAL Polling Numbers\u201d are \u201cthe best they have ever been.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet the bleak numbers are everywhere. CNN places his approval at a matching post-Jan. 6 low of 34 percent, with 73 percent of respondents reporting he hasn\u2019t paid enough attention to top national problems. <\/p>\n<p>AP-NORC has him tied at a post-2017 low of 33 percent, Quinnipiac puts him at a career-low 32 percent, and a CBS News\/YouGov poll revealed 55 percent of Americans believe the Republican Party is actively harming affordability.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5039\">Musk Suffers Fresh DOGE Humiliation in Bombshell Report<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The Daily Beast has contacted Daines and the White House for comment. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A high-stakes strategy session for Republicans descended into uncomfortable territory when a senator questioned whether President Donald Trump would ever stop picking fights with his own party and start focusing on the midterms.
