The 13 voters who participated in these groups voted for Biden in 2020 and then Trump in 2024.
And all 13 said they don't think the war is going well.
They say they're concerned the president is focused on the wrong issues.
Dawn, who participated under the condition her last name would not be used, said she's particularly frustrated that the president is not focused on the economy.
Nearly all participants said they feel more economic anxiety now than they did before Trump took office again.
Hey there, it's the NPR Politics Podcast.
I'm Ashley Lopez.
I cover voting.
An auspicious day because it's the entire voting team on the same podcast.
And for good reason, because today on the show, President Trump has signed a new executive order related to voting that is already facing multiple legal challenges, which isn't entirely surprising.
But it's also an auspicious day because it's the entire voting team on the same podcast.
For months, Trump has teased on social media that he would be signing an order related to mail-in ballots.
Hansi, though, can you catch us up on what Trump ultimately ended up signing on Tuesday?
What was in that order?
But what was clear, like from the response almost immediately, was that like Trump really can't do this.
This isn't within the purview of what a president can do, which is why almost immediately you saw a lot of people threatening to sue.
And I do want to talk about that.
Hansi, what do we know about what lawsuits this executive order is already facing?
And it's definitely not news to the administration because they've been here before.
