The 2026 election will turn on “it’s the economy, stupid”.
If people who vote in the election don’t consider them better off economically, the party in power will lose. It’s played out over and over again.

This is my concern as well. If he is going this route, then we need to get the tax cuts made permanent or at least extended before 2026.
Additionally, if SC justices Thomas and Alito (both of whom are solid) are considering retirement, they need to do so while Trump has a Republican majority in the Senate so he can replace them with some young, constitutional-adherent justices in the same vein as Thomas and Alito.
That is correct, IMO. Particularly, people on modest fixed incomes (or nearly so) are not going to wait 5 years to see how things play out. Others already hurtin’, like farmers, are nervous too.
