Democrats are putting Republicans<\/em> on defense<\/em><\/a> over their failed record, forcing Trump and Vance to scramble to red states to shore up support from voters who are feeling the squeeze from the administration\u2019s cost-spiking policies<\/em><\/p>\n

Against the backdrop of disastrous approval ratings and a fracturing base, Donald Trump and JD Vance are embarking on a last-minute blitz of ruby red states in a desperate attempt to sell a failed agenda no one is buying. After jacking up costs, ripping away lifesaving healthcare and food assistance, and starting a lengthy and costly war no one asked for, even Trump\u2019s most loyal followers are starting to turn<\/a> their backs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trump and Vance are begging voters to \u201cgive [them] another chance<\/a>,\u201d when all they\u2019ve done is force working families to drain their savings or take on more debt to afford their medical bills, groceries, and gas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Americans are sick and tired of having to pay for Trump and Republicans\u2019 harmful agenda, with their own supporters having buyer\u2019s remorse<\/a>. While Republicans try to paper over the pain they\u2019ve inflicted on working Americans, voters are gearing up to hold them accountable at the ballot box next month.\u00a0<\/p>\n
