As Donald Trump continues his campaign blitz in red states, he is alienating voters. While he desperately tries to make the midterms all about himself, even urging voters to “pretend [he is] on the ballot,” vulnerable Republicans are racing to distance themselves from his dismal, record-low approval ratings.
And it’s not just candidates — even Trump’s previous supporters are turning their backs after suffering from his harmful, out-of-touch agenda for far too long. Americans know that they are worse off than they were a year ago, and they’re not happy with the direction of the country.
No matter how many rallies Trump holds, or how much distance Republicans try to put between themselves and this unpopular president, working families are not falling for the last-minute pleas for “another chance.” Come November, voters will enter the ballot box to kick Republicans to the curb and elect strong Democrats who will put everyday Americans first.

Trump and Republicans’ disastrous agenda has worsened the economy, leaving American families struggling to get by. Across the country, working families are forced to make impossible decisions like forgoing healthcare to pay their bills, or skipping a meal to fill their gas tank. Meanwhile, soaring diesel prices are pushing farmers out of business or into bankruptcy.
By the numbers: The average U.S. household has shelled out over $4,700 more for everyday essentials under Trump’s cost-hiking agenda, including $856 on gas, $915 on housing costs, and $310 on groceries. American farmers already drowning in higher costs are on track to spend $2.4 billion on diesel fuel alone this fall harvest season as Trump’s war with Iran continues and relief hasn’t arrived.
Americans can’t go another day in Trump’s Unaffordable America, and with less than two weeks until Election Day, voters are gearing up to deliver necessary change at the ballot box.
