🗳️🇺🇸 The economy is booming. So why are voters still uneasy?
“You used to be able to sell anything if it created jobs... We aren't in that spot anymore because we've been very economically successful — but the electorate doesn't feel that success.”
Pollster @prbentz says a disconnect between affordability and voter sentiment is reshaping politics, and that Trump’s endorsement remains the “gold standard” in GOP primaries.
🔌Bentz joins @dennis_welch on @azfamily Politics Unplugged to break down Trump’s grip on the Republican Party and what it means for 2026. 🔗azfamily.com/2026/06/01/poli…

🎙️“You either run scared or you run unopposed," @prbentz says both sides should be paying attention.
📊Survey after survey shows voters are feeling stretched thin—groceries, gas, the basics. Bentz says those factors matter. Campaigns can't just run against Trump; they’ve got to clearly say what they’re for.

“The folks that have bemoaned the takeover of the party, the people who wish to go back to the more traditional Republican ways, aren’t the folks that show up at the precinct committee meetings, knock on doors & show up at rallies,” @prbentz tells @AP.

When I was in high school, my school celebrated the 10 year anniversary of their last state football championship. This gives very similar (sad) vibes.
