Republicans confront voter economic anxiety ahead of 2026 midterms
At the Republican midterm convention in Dallas, party leaders and President Trump promoted economic achievements including tax cuts, stock market growth, and employment gains while polls show voters remain anxious about the economy. Rising fuel prices, elevated inflation, sliding consumer sentiment, and high mortgage rates threaten GOP prospects in November. Trump floated a $5,000 "Trump dividend" payment and acknowledged economic conditions had not immediately improved upon his taking office.
