The Daily
The Cracking of the Trump Coalition

One of the main issues driving Trump's election was the economy.

The Daily
The Cracking of the Trump Coalition

And so I imagine there's a lot of people who feel like they voted for him because they expected Trump as president to have a laser-like focus on pocketbook issues rather than on mediating conflicts in far-flung places, which is something he's done a lot of in his first year.

The Daily

And at the same time, you know, spending money on things that a lot of people took issue with, a ballroom, for example.

The Daily

And we will talk about her right after the break.

The Daily

We'll be right back.

The Cracking of the Trump Coalition

Robert, you brought up Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene from Georgia, and her evolution really feels emblematic of this break with Trump that we're starting to see among some on the right.

Obviously, she became famous for being one of Trump's closest allies, and now she has since announced her resignation from office and said pretty explicitly that Trump is betraying the movement.

So let's talk about this journey that Marjorie Taylor Greene has been on.

The Daily

Were they driven by the feedback she was getting from her constituents?

The Daily
The Cracking of the Trump Coalition

Was it something else?

The Daily
The Cracking of the Trump Coalition

And not long after... Hi, everyone.

The Daily
The Cracking of the Trump Coalition

She announces that she's going to resign.

The Daily
The Cracking of the Trump Coalition

I have to ask, Robert, isn't the fact that Green stepped down over this dust-up a sign that Trump is actually stronger politically than we may be thinking?

The Daily
The Cracking of the Trump Coalition

I mean, I think a lot of people might see this incident as him winning.

The Daily
The Cracking of the Trump Coalition

He still, at the end of the day, had the political weight to drive one of his critics out of political office.

The Daily
The Cracking of the Trump Coalition

Robert, I want to end by asking if you get the sense that Trump is actually listening, perhaps, to the concerns that are being raised by voters and by people like Marjorie Taylor Greene.
