Davis, CEO and co-founder of the conservative web site The Federalist, known as out whoever “is advising congressional Republicans on strategy right now,” saying they’ve “an IQ barely approaching room temperature.”
“Republicans right now have no accomplishments, no plans, and no vision,” he mentioned, asking, “Why on earth would anyone be excited to go vote for them 12 months right now?”
“Trump needs to ditch the foreign policy crap and focus all his attention on the domestic economy, which is still not working for the majority of people,” he mentioned. “Right now he looks weak and rudderless. Be mad all you want, but it’s the truth.”
Davis railed: “You cannot have a viable country or future when half your country and all its young people are locked out of the economy and locked out of ever owning a home or much of anything beyond next month’s streaming subscription.”
“Does anyone in Washington care about this? Anyone at all?” he requested, earlier than signing off with a warning for his occasion.

“We’ve advised Mr. Trump from the beginning that tariffs would do economic harm, and so they are,” the Journal’s conservative editorial board mentioned. “They’re also doing political damage to the GOP, which is why he’s floating rebates that contradict his other tariff claims.”
Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-N.J.) additionally raised the alarm over the weekend, saying the GOP will “get killed” in the event that they don’t take voters’ well being care affordability considerations critically.
“It’s about winning. We have to win the midterms,” he mentioned throughout an look on Maria Bartiromo’s Fox Business present on Sunday. “It’s going to be a hell of a hard thing to do, and if people are just struggling with their health care, it’s not going to help us.”
