ICYMI: Democrat Chaos: Mejia Snubs Jeffries as Mamdani-Squad Takes Control
Leader In Name Only Hakeem Jeffries can't even count on members of his own party to support him, and the socialists are making that painfully clear.
During a New Jersey debate last week, far-left Democrat Analilia Mejia repeatedly refused to say whether she would support Jeffries, a stunning rebuke of Democrat leadership that underscores the growing divide within their party.
Mejia isn't operating in a vacuum. She'saligned with the Mamdani-Squad wing of the Democrat Party, the same socialists pushing extreme positions and dragging Democrats further out of the mainstream.
"House Democrats are in total disarray. Mejia's refusal to back Jeffries is the latest sign that Democrats are fractured, rudderless, and increasingly controlled by their most extreme voices, leaving working families behind. When candidates aligned with the Mamdani-Squad wing won't even support him, it's clear the socialists are calling the shots, and Jeffries is just along for the ride." - NRCC Spokesman Mike Marinella

Trump's Bragging About Puny Refunds That Won't Come Close to Making Up for Rising Costs Under His Term

Trump's Bragging About Puny Refunds That Won't Come Close to Making Up for Rising Costs Under His Term
As Donald Trump continues to wage his unpopular war of choice with Iran -- which has already claimed the lives of at least 13 American service members and injured more than 350 -- the economy back home is tanking. As Americans grow increasingly concerned about the economy, Trump is trying to avoid backlash by bragging about tax refunds, repeatedly claiming people are "receivinglarger refunds than they ever thought possible, they are getting so much more money."
In reality, Trump's tariffs are costing the average family $2,500 per year, more than 7 times the size of the average refund increase of $351 per household so far this year. Surveys show the largest share of Americans plan to use their refund to pay down debt as they continue to struggle under Trump's higher prices. Most Americans don't think their tax bill or tax refund will change much this year, and one-third don't expect a tax refund at all.
In response, DNC Rapid Response Director Kendall Witmer released the following statement:
"Donald Trump promised to lower costs on 'Day One,' but his deadly and costly war with Iran has sent prices soaring even higher, leaving working families feeling squeezed. Trump is trying to dodge responsibility by bragging about tax refunds, but those won't even come close to making up for the skyrocketing prices since he's taken office. In fact, Americans will be using their refunds to pay down debt just to scrape by in Trump's economy -- while billionaires and big corporations cash in."

WASHINGTON, April 7 -- The Democratic National Committee posted the following news release on April 6, 2026:

Trump Has Shattered His 2024 Coalition
Trump reaches negative net approval with working class white voters for first time in his second term
*
The coalition that delivered Donald Trump the presidency in 2024 is falling apart and now, for the first time in his second term, Trump is underwater with white working class voters -- and it's no wonder why. Trump has wrecked the economy and sold out working families by making historic cuts to health care and food assistance to pay fortax cuts for the rich and his unpopular war of choice with Iran.
Trump's economy has been a disaster for working families. Wages are down and prices are soaring as his war with Iran has pushed the average price for a gallon of gas to $4.11 nationwide. U.S. employers cut more than 60,000 jobs in March -- 25% more than the cuts announced in February -- and the economy lost 11,000 factory jobs in March. February had the lowest hiring rate since the peak of the COVID pandemic, and before that, since January 2011. Goldman Sachs estimates that Trump's unpopular war of choice with Iran will cost 10,000 jobs per month through the end of the year.
In response, DNC Rapid Response Director Kendall Witmer released the following statement:
"At every turn, Donald Trump has sold out working families to pay for his massive tax cuts for billionaires and big corporations and now for his deadly and costly war with Iran. Trump's disastrous trade war jacked up prices for everyday goods and tanked the job market to record lows and then he and Republicans made massive cuts to health care and food assistance for everyday Americans -- it's no wonder he's bleeding support even from his base of voters that delivered him the presidency. Trump has made one thing clear: it's Trump first, working families last, and now it's costing Republicans his political coalition."
The American people have soured on Trump: Trump's average net approval ratings remain deeply underwater on the economy (-23), trade (-24) and inflation (-32). His approval rating for handling the economy has fallen to a new career low of 31%. Meanwhile, over 60% of Americans disapprove of Trump's war -- including one in five Republicans -- and nearly the same amount said the U.S. made the wrong decision using military force in Iran.

DNC Slams Trump for Lack of Exit Plan in Iran as War Disapproval Climbs

Trump on Timetable for Iran War: "I Can't Tell You. I Don't Know."
As Donald Trump's unpopular war of choice in Iran rages on, Trump and his administration officials have offered no firm timeline for the end of the war -- even as two-thirds of Americans believe the U.S. should end the war quickly, including 40% of Republicans, and 60% overall disapprove of the war.

Trump on Timetable for Iran War: "I Can't Tell You. I Don't Know."
As Donald Trump's unpopular war of choice in Iran rages on, Trump and his administration officials have offered no firm timeline for the end of the war -- even as two-thirds of Americans believe the U.S. should end the war quickly, including 40% of Republicans, and 60% overall disapprove of the war.
Trump's deadly and costly war has already claimed the lives of at least 13 U.S. service members, injured at least365, and devastated the economy, raising prices and costing jobs back home. Now, Trump is refusing to rule out bombing civilian targets in Iran, including schools and hospitals.
It's clear Trump has no exit plan for his war in Iran. Just days into the conflict, Trump claimed they had already made "tremendous progress." Since then, Trump has repeatedly pushed back the timeline. By the third week, when asked if the war could end that week, Trump said, "Yeah, sure. We could... it'll be wrapped up soon." During his address to the nation last week, Trump indicated that the war will stretch even longer than his initial "four to five week" timeline, and continues to make new threats toward Iran every day.
At a press conference today, when asked if the war is winding down, Trump said, "I can't tell you. I don't know."
In response, DNC Rapid Response Director Kendall Witmer released the following statement:
"Donald Trump has plunged the U.S. into a deadly and costly war of choice in Iran that has killed U.S. service members, continues to put troops in harm's way, and crushed the economy. Yet Trump has offered no definitive timeline for his war -- or even a coherent explanation for why he started the war to begin with -- as working families foot the bill indefinitely and Trump and Republicans go after food assistance, health care, and education to fund it."
