GOP Shifts Focus Away from Trump in Midterm Strategy
Republicans are planning a midterm election campaign designed to divert attention from President Donald Trump's declining approval ratings and his Iran policy, which is impacting the economy. According to an Axios report, the GOP's first-ever midterm convention will focus on portraying Democrats as extremists while highlighting Republican achievements in tax cuts, prescription drug costs, and border security. The event, scheduled for September 9-10 in Dallas, will feature progressive figures like Hasan Piker and James Talarico, along with 'everyday Americans' touting GOP policies. Organizers aim to counter criticism that Trump is too focused on foreign policy by emphasizing domestic issues. However, polls show 73% of respondents believe Trump isn't prioritizing domestic concerns enough, and 65% think his policies are harming the economy. Democrats have opted not to hold their own convention, with DNC spokesperson Kendall Witmer criticizing the GOP event as a 'multimillion-dollar celebration' for Trump's ego.
