MAGA is still very much a power player in Republican primaries, but Zeteo reports Trump’s culty foundation is crashing out with the rest of America, particularly voters. The news comes as Fox News published stunning poll results for the Senate race in red-state Ohio with Democrat Sherrod Brown leading GOP incumbent Jon Husted, 53 percent to 45 percent. “In an era of metronomic partisan polarization, that eight-point Democratic margin in Ohio almost defies belief,” said Zeteo writer John Harwood. “But an intra-Republican fracture explains it: Only 4 percent of those aligned with Donald Trump’s MAGA movement backed Brown, but 31 percent of ‘non-MAGA’ Republicans crossed party lines to support the Democratic candidate.” “That snapshot reflects an emerging 2026 picture that does not resemble a familiar face-off between evenly-matched Republican and Democratic two parties,” said Harwood, a former White House correspondent for CNN. “Instead, the midterm elections increasingly pit the MAGA...

White House source hounds Trump as 'demented old man with tacky tastes'

Image
RADAR Online confirmed source information from a new book that President Donald Trump likes to wander around the White House gluing goldish bits and gewgaws onto walls — but it doesn’t sound much better the way anonymous White House sources frame it. Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump , a book by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, claims Trump has been personally decorating the White House by using a tube of super glue to jam gold ornamentation over the historic building. But RADAR’s sources say Trump’s little glue pen is nothing new. "A source familiar with the White House told Radar the episode reflected Trump's highly personal approach to the presidency rather than an isolated incident,” reports reporter Aaron Tinney. "People around him understand that if he has an idea about how something should look, he's likely to carry it out himself. It has become part of the way the White House operates under this administ...

Fox News is struggling to cope with Trump’s 'deflated' electorate’

Image
An MS NOW panel had to warily admit that President Donald Trump has sandblasted his Republican Party so hard against the wall that even Fox News can’t seem to repair the damage. Polls suggest Trump’s popularity is at a career low , and he’s dragging his Republican Party into the pit with him. But there’s more than just polling, said John Heilemann with Puck News. The enthusiasm gap between Democrats and Republicans is also apparent in recent elections. “[D]emocrats are overwhelmingly enthusiastic about voting for non-Republican candidates this November and we have seen this not once, not twice, not in an outlier way, but in a consistent way,” Heilemann told MS NOW anchor Nicole Wallace . “Democrats are showing up and they're showing up in large numbers by the standards of off-year elections and the standards of special elections, and they're not just exceeding [Trump’s margins from 2024] but blowing them out of the water.” “That's not a poll. That is not a focus group. ...

Low turnout and blown enthusiasm: A GOP nightmare is brewing in this Southern state

Image
The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports Republicans in the red state of Georgia are panicking over low enthusiasm in the months leading up to the November midterms, potentially threatening Trump’s dominance of both the U.S. House and Senate. Georgia conservatives warn of “an enthusiasm collapse you can measure.” “A statewide runoff drew fewer than 1 in 14 active voters, and a rodeo our own party hosted in Perry played to empty stands,” Kylie Jane Kremer, a longtime GOP activist, told AJC. “Those empty seats were a referendum.” Kremer personally blames lingering low Republican interest on “growing disillusionment” with GOP state leaders, who she says are unwilling to use the power of their trifecta in the legislature and governor’s office, as well as their dominance in statewide elections. Kremer said many conservative activists expected Republican lawmakers to redraw congressional and legislative districts a few weeks ago to help the GOP gain as many as two additional U.S. House sea...

Gen Z fury boils over as Trump’s economy destroys summer jobs

Image
“Up and Up” writer Rachel Janfaza covers younger voter concerns and Gen Z issues — and Gen Z is definitely having issues with President Donald Trump’s economy this summer. “It’s no secret that the job market for Gen Z is bleak,” wrote Janfaza . “That’s true for recent high school and college grads looking for entry-level work. But it’s also increasingly the case for students looking for summer opportunities to make some cash and stack their pre-professional resume.” Janfaza pointed out that summer hiring for teens is expected to fall (from 801,000 teen jobs gained last summer to 790,000 this summer, according to reports after last year’s eight decade low. “That would be the worst summer hiring total for teens since the Bureau of Labor Statistics started keeping track in 1948,” said Janfaza, which mixes horribly with the rise in young people looking for extra work in the gig economy by taking shifts on apps like Uber. When asking young adults in the Gen Z community about their summer...

Trump officials did something ridiculous to protect his feelings: report

Image
A recent mystery involving President Donald Trump and the Kennedy Center has seemingly been solved — and the explanation is both petty and absurd. “They somehow obtained this great photograph behind the tarp, behind the curtain,” reported podcaster Jim Acosta on Tuesday . Acosta was referring to the tarp and scaffolding that was constructed in front of the Kennedy Center after Trump’s name was removed pursuant to a recent court order. Observers were left in the dark as to why the building’s front was being concealed. “If you guys haven't seen this, take a look,” Acosta said. “This shows you how Trump's name has been taken off of the Kennedy Center. Remember, it was a couple weeks ago — or almost a couple weeks ago — we were there live for like 15 hours. We thought we were all going to pass out. And they put up this very elaborate scaffolding. And we thought at the very end of it, they were going to use that scaffolding to take the name off of the Kennedy Center.” Yet the obst...

Trump's secret edge — and the one factor polls kept missing in 2024

Image
When President Donald Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, much of the political world was shocked — but a new study reveals one forecasting framework that anticipated that outcome. “Many voters rely on prospective voting, a process of evaluating candidates based on anticipated future performance,” wrote PsyPost's Karina Petrova on Monday . “Researchers have found that these forward-looking assessments become a primary driver of voter behavior in open-seat contests. Voters look ahead at what policies and leadership styles the new candidates might bring to the office.” In a study led by Macromedia University of Applied Sciences researcher Andreas Graefe, the scientists created a so-called “Issues and Leaders model” to figure out why voters make the choices they do rather than simply profiling their support for different candidates at specific points in time. “The Issues and Leaders model focuses entirely on two variables: issue-handling competence and l...
