Trump Runs the GOP, Yet Public Support Is Slipping
TL;DR Summary
Trump now dominates the GOP, but his waning public support—about 37% approval and 63% disapproval per CBS/YouGov and NYT/Siena—threatens Republican prospects in the 2026 midterms. The Bulwark urges Democrats to tie GOP incumbents to Trump and his unpopular policies to blunt his influence, noting Cassidy’s Louisiana primary defeat as a sign Trump’s grip persists. The piece also critiques MAGA-aligned Christian nationalism, highlighted by a National Mall event, warning that merging faith with Trumpism could backfire if the movement collapses.
