Young men who helped get Trump elected are ‘blackpilling’ out of politics

By Jeff Green, Bloomberg News DETROIT — “I’ve checked out.” That’s how Dallas Cruze sums up his political journey from willing Trump voter in 2016 to now, when he says voting seems pointless. Seated at a table in a board game store in suburban Detroit, the 34-year-old construction worker says that despite expecting to clear about $85,000 as a health and safety coordinator for construction sites, he will still be around $350 shy of paying his bills this month. A South Carolina resident, he’s in Michigan for work and will soon move to Mississippi for a job on a data center project. He ticks off grievances that include inflation, war in Iran and the influence of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee lobbying group. The final betrayal, he says, was Republicans’ inclination to protect the rich and powerful rather than prosecute those named in the records of disgraced financier Jeffrey…

Economic frustration puts Midwest Republicans on defense ahead of midterms

Cincinnati (CNN) - Democrats could be poised for a revival in the heartland, as furor over high costs and doubt about President Donald Trump's willingness to change the nation's trajectory threaten to loosen the GOP's grip on working-class voters. A decade after the Trump era began, when he first turned Midwestern political battlegrounds into reliably Republican states, the fallout from policies of his second term have rippled through the agriculture sector and broader economies across the Great Plains and the Rust Belt. Iowa and Ohio, which have not been competitive since former President Barack Obama was on the ballot, are in play. And ruby-red states like Kansas, Nebraska and Indiana are not exempt. The shift is happening up and down the ballot, with tight contests for the House, Senate and governor blanketing the middle of the country. From spring planting to fall harvest, anxiety…

Shapiro and Davis kick off 29-county bus tour in final 10 days of campaign

(The Center Square) – As the 2026 campaign comes to a close, Gov. Josh Shapiro and Lt. Gov. Austin Davis kicked off a statewide bus tour this weekend. Starting on Saturday, Shapiro and Davis are spending the final 10 days of the campaign traveling across the state to rally support for candidates up and down the ballot for the Nov. 3 election, visiting 29 counties. The other 15 counties on the tour include areas where Shapiro and Davis won in the 2022 election: Allegheny, Beaver, Berks, Bucks, Centre, Chester, Cumberland, Dauphin, Delaware, Erie, Lackawanna, Lehigh, Monroe, Montgomery, and Philadelphia. However, six of those counties – Beaver, Berks, Bucks, Cumberland, Erie, and Monroe – voted for Shapiro in 2022 and Trump in 2024. Garrity, who earned a second term as treasurer in 2024, also won a majority of those counties that Shapiro and Davis are visiting on this tour. During…

The educational divide could spell trouble for Republicans

Republicans tend to run better among voters without a college degree than those with one, which has battered Democrats in recent presidential elections. But that same pattern could give Democrats a potentially decisive boost in next month’s midterms. Even as President Donald Trump’s approval rating craters among Americans with a college degree, history suggests those well-educated voters are virtually certain to constitute a slightly larger share of the electorate this year than in 2024. It’s the political equivalent of what economists call the “college premium” in wages. By itself, the typical midterm tilt toward a more educated electorate may not be large enough to swing many competitive races. But the change could provide a crucial thumb on the scale for Democrats, particularly in red-leaning Senate races and House districts where the party sees opportunities to overcome long years…
