Trump's Approval Hits 42% in Wisconsin as GOP Faces Midterm Crisis and Record Retirements

This is your RNC News podcast. The Republican Party faces mounting challenges as President Trump's approval ratings dip amid midterm fears, with polls showing his support at a low 42% in swing-state Wisconsin, fueling GOP alarms over potential House and Senate losses. Politico reports Trump's stalled domestic agenda and international tensions are colliding with weakening polls, pushing him to prioritize the SAVE America Act for stricter voter ID and mail voting curbs, though it lacks Senate passage. Meanwhile, a record 36 House Republicans, including Missouri's Sam Graves, have announced they won't seek re-election, opting to pass the torch ahead of what insiders call a midterm bloodbath, according to The Daily Beast. On the candidate front, an Indiana GOP intraparty dispute ended favorably, as challenger Sid Mahant was cleared in good standing by District 4 officials for the state House District 40 primary against incumbent Greg Steuerwald, ensuring his campaign access to party resources just before early voting begins April 7, per The Indiana Citizen. In Massachusetts, Republicans brace for a Democratic blue wave that could shrink their already slim 15% hold on legislative seats, further limiting their leverage on Beacon Hill debates and amendments, with House Minority Leader Brad Jones retiring and calls rising for a bolder successor, Axios notes. The RNC remains aligned with Trump's aggressive push on election reforms, but broader party stances show little shift, focusing on affordability issues like housing investor restrictions that have gone unaddressed. No major national events or RNC headlines dominated the last few days, though PBS News Hour aired episodes touching on Trump's recent addresses.
