GOP lawmakers fear Trump is out of sync with voters on the economy [View all]
GOP lawmakers fear President Trump is out of sync with them and many American voters on the economy, the biggest issue of the 2026 midterm elections.
Trump's refusal to sign the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is the latest troubling sign for GOP senators, who have pressed Trump for weeks to pay more personal attention to voters' concerns about rising costs.
Instead, Trump's off-the-cuff statements professing "love" for higher inflation numbers and declaring he's not thinking about the financial situations of American families while negotiating an end to the conflict with Iran have GOP candidates bracing for a tough election season.
"Living back in the 1970s, I remember I had a car that had about a 12- or 13-gallon gas tank, and when the prices went up, I didn't have the money to fill it up. I was living literally gas tank to gas tank. We got to acknowledge those situations," Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) said.

Problem is the GOP lawmakers are also out of sync. Else they wouldn't have cut ACA subsidies which effectively cut off healthcare to 5 million Americans.
