Tariffs, rising gas prices, and attack on labor has left a lot of business owners regretting their 2024 voting decisions. Small business owners I know in multiple states feel like the GOP declared war on them.

Republicans did not vote the democrats #s held very close to 2024#'s the Republicans just decided go stay home.
The combination of bad candidates and Trump getting into a wat along with the cost of living going up and wages staying level was not inspiring to the Republican vote.

Tariffs and attack on labor (I’m assuming you mean the supposed deportations) do not impact the common man enough to change 200 years of history in these states

Republicans on average do not vote in midterms. They show up every 4 years for President, but are basically too lazy to affect real change in their communities and States. Leftists are militants and Republicans are busy bitching about the left. And, GOP candidates are mostly corrupt used car salesmen fake decent people.
