"A year into his second presidency, Donald Trump has lost the country, Douthat began in the clip, before playing a highlight reel of pundits breaking down Trump polling: The majority of voters believe the country is worse off today than it was a year ago. Approval rating at 37 percent, the lowest of his second term. A failure. Fail, fail, fail. And the grand coalition that he united to defeat Kamala Harris has evaporated."
"It isn't moderates and swing voters who lose out when the Trump administration becomes unpopular. It's people on the right. People like me, and certainly people further to my right who support many of the things the Trump administration has tried to do, from securing the border to pressuring American institutions to become more ideologically diverse, to resetting and rolling back D.E.I. All of that, all of that agenda will just disappear if the Republican Party can't win elections."
One year into his second presidency, Donald Trump has lost the country. Polls show a majority believe the country is worse off than a year ago and approval stands near 37 percent, the lowest of the second term. The grand coalition that defeated Kamala Harris has evaporated as the administration governed as if swing voters were not part of its coalition; those voters have now departed. The political cost will fall hardest on the right: priorities like border security, pressuring institutions to be ideologically diverse, and rolling back D.E.I. risk disappearing if Republicans cannot win elections. Democrats have an edge for the House midterms while the Senate map still favors Republicans.
