Axios: Some Democrats tout their version of "America First" A small but growing number of Democrats are embracing their own version of "America First" in response to Donald Trump's ongoing war with Iran in partnership with Israel. Abdul El-Sayed, a progressive Senate candidate in Michigan who campaigned with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) last weekend, told Axios: "I'm the most America First candidate in the country, proudly." axios.com/2026/07/26/dem…



Kennedy: "I don't think we ought to just cut and run. If we can stand the pain of the rising cost of energy, we need to stay the course at least for a few more months."


WaPo: Republicans see ‘scary’ lack of enthusiasm among core voters ahead of midterms. In reliably red Iowa—where open governor & Senate races look surprisingly competitive—AFP Action door-knocking in suburban Des Moines found voters critical of the Iran war and high inflation. Some even say they’ll back Democrats this fall. AFP Action’s Nathan Nascimento: "About 1 in 5 reliable Republican base voters are at risk in November" (may stay home or vote Dem) across IA, OH, NC, MT, NH & MI. Top concern: inflation and the economy.“This is a big chunk. This is a scary number.” Reaching them at the door usually moves them toward GOP candidates—or at least away from Democrats toward undecided.And that 20% doesn’t even include low-propensity Trump voters who turn out for him but often skip midterms. Cygnal’s Mitchell Brown: Dems as fired up as 2018 (when they flipped House). GOP lagging hard. Young men under 40—key to Trump’s ‘24 wins—most at risk over economy/prices. washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/…



WaPo: In western Iowa, three-time Trump voter Lance Sulentic of rural Harrison County called the past three presidential elections “the worst three mistakes I’ve ever made in my life,” saying the president failed to keep his campaign promises. Higher gas prices are costing him an extra $300–$500 a month to ride his motorcycle.“We voted for Trump, and he did the opposite of what he said he was going to do,” said the 56-year-old retired insurance agent. He cited unfulfilled pledges on $2 gas, cheaper food, halved energy prices, rebate checks, no new wars, building the wall, and deporting 30 million illegal immigrants. Sulentic said he may sit out this year’s election or vote Democrat.
