Trump's party grip risks midterms amid economic voter concerns

Donald Trump's influence over the Republican party is causing concern among strategists, as his focus on personal grievances and foreign policy, particularly regarding Iran, appears to overshadow pressing economic issues. This approach is seen as a potential liability for the party in the upcoming November midterms, with some operatives fearing it could alienate voters and contribute to Democratic gains. Despite these concerns, Trump remains committed to endorsing candidates like Ken Paxton and plans to hold rallies to support them, even as polls suggest a challenging electoral landscape for Republicans.
