“The current Democratic paradox is that their voters are deeply frustrated with the party, and happy to vote for them in every election. Before the Wisconsin vote, Wikler told me that Republicans would struggle to match their enthusiasm, because Democrats were ‘on fire’ about DOGE layoffs and the threat of cuts to Medicaid. This was borne out on Tuesday …. The MAGA voter is both more content with the state of the country and less interested in blow-by-blows of DOGE work. The lower-propensity voters who only turn out for Trump are not matching the higher-propensity news junkies who fill out their ballots with MSNBC or Meidas Touch playing in the background.” (04/02/25)
