GOP lawmakers say Trump is out of touch with voters on the economy

GOP lawmakers warn that President Trump is not aligning with voters on the economy, a central issue for the 2026 midterms. They cite weak public sentiment on costs and inflation, Trump’s reluctance to support housing legislation tied to the SAVE America Act, and polls showing independents shifting away, suggesting his economic messaging isn’t landing with voters. Party leaders urge a sharper focus on tangible economic wins to help GOP candidates in November, as Trump remains preoccupied with other priorities.
