GOP warned Trump will let them take the fall if polls don't turn around
Appearing on MSNBC the morning of July 4th, GOP political strategist Susan Del Percio warned Republicans that poll-conscious Donald Trump will let Republican lawmakers take the fall if the numbers don't change on the newly passed –– and highly unpopular –– budget bill.
Speaking on the morning after the megabill passed in both Republican-controlled chambers and now awaits the president's signature, Del Percio told host Ali Vitali, she will be curious to see how it will all pan out now that the president got what he wanted.
Noting that polling on the popularity of the bill has been way "underwater", the analyst stated the fight for the bill was "...all about Donald Trump and what he wanted and making his campaign promises happen."
"I mean, gone are the days where the national debt actually matters to Republicans," she continued. "But what I'm really curious to see is how much Donald Trump actually takes this bill out for a spin."
"Because he hasn't been able to sell it, really, right now. The numbers are upside down, not in his favor, and if he doesn't see the numbers turn around, I think he'll stop talking about it and it will be a big beautiful mess for anyone running for re-election in 2026," she predicted.
