Reagan Reese

But Trump admitted it.

He had a breakfast with congressional leaders the very next day I was there.

And he admitted that they have a problem.

They have a problem when he's not on the ballot.

They have a problem with affordability.

He said that the government shutdown hurt Republicans on the ballot.

And so looking at these elections and wondering

why is this happening and how can we adjust?

There's still time before 2026 to make adjustments to the messaging and the way that the Trump White House is approaching different issues that are key to Americans.

And this election, I think, should be a really big kick in the butt.

We saw Trump.

I thought this was really interesting.

Trump is always on Truth Social, hardly ever puts tweets, Truth Social posts on Twitter.

And that one tweet calling for the GOP to get out in this Tennessee election and vote for the Republican candidate also made its way onto Twitter.

And that's a very rare occurrence.

And they're getting huge numbers.

They're getting so much engagement because... What does that tell you?

It tells me, I think, that they are realizing they need to adjust the strategy.

They need to reach more Americans that something's not working.

They need to punch through.
