Trump: Voters’ anger is at the GOP, not me, as midterms loom

In a Punchbowl News interview, former President Donald Trump said voters are angry with Republicans, not him, signaling distance from GOP fury ahead of the 2026 midterms. He pointed to polling showing Republicans trailing Democrats on the generic ballot and highlighted an enthusiasm gap, plus concerns about cost of living. Trump vowed to back Republicans with MAGA Inc. funds, criticized Senate Leader John Thune, praised House Speaker Mike Johnson, and argued he doesn’t need to campaign because he’s already won.
