Sen Bernie Moreno warns GOP could lose working-class voters soon

Key Points:

• Senator Bernie Moreno, a top GOP ally of Donald Trump, warned that the Republican Party risks losing its crucial White, working-class voter base amid economic concerns, which could threaten the party's future success.
• This voter bloc shifted from reliably Democratic to Republican starting with Trump's 2016 victory, as he filled a void left by Democrats who had abandoned working-class Americans.
• Despite Trump's strong past performance with White, working-class voters, recent polls show significant dissatisfaction with his handling of the economy, with 67% of White voters without a college degree disapproving.
• Democrats recognize their struggle to engage working-class voters and are calling for a renewed focus on economic populism to reclaim this key constituency.
• Republicans are emphasizing their economic achievements and framing the temporary rise in fuel costs as a necessary consequence of national security actions against Iran, though working-class voters remain concerned about affordability.
