U.S. Politics: Election Strategy, Gerrymandering, and Party Dynamics
Missouri Gerrymander Referendum Sparks National Legal and Political Battle
Politico reports an intensifying, multi-million-dollar fight over Missouri’s new congressional map, which would eliminate a key Democratic seat. Both parties are pouring money into campaigns and lawsuits as Democrats seek to put the GOP’s gerrymandered map to a statewide referendum—a move Republicans are aggressively trying to block through litigation and political maneuvering. The conflict highlights broader national stakes, with Trump-aligned PACs and national GOP organizations investing heavily, while Democrats rally grassroots and dark money support. Legal challenges now center on whether a referendum is constitutional, with Missouri’s Republican Attorney General invoking the "independent state legislature" theory, despite its rejection by the Supreme Court last year. The outcome could influence control of the House in 2026 and set precedents for mid-decade redistricting nationwide.

Democrats’ Affordability Messaging Fractures Trump’s Coalition Ahead of Midterms
A new Politico poll reveals that a growing share of Americans, including many 2024 Trump voters, now blame President Trump for continued high costs of living—a reversal from prior cycles when the GOP dominated economic messaging. Democrats have exploited this vulnerability, notching key wins in New Jersey, Virginia, and Tennessee by focusing campaigns on affordability. The poll finds Trump’s hold weakest among non-MAGA Republicans, and even 1 in 5 Trump voters now say he’s had a chance to improve the economy but has not. While the White House insists Trump is “cleaning up Biden’s economic disaster,” voters increasingly expect Republicans to deliver on cost-of-living promises, suggesting a potential realignment in the 2026 midterms if economic frustrations persist.

Tennessee Special Election Underscores Democratic Gains in Red States
Politico and The Hill detail how Democrat Aftyn Behn’s strong performance in Tennessee’s deep-red 7th District—a seat Trump won by 22 points in 2024—has energized Democrats and spurred debate over candidate strategy. Behn lost by only nine points to Republican Matt Van Epps, outperforming expectations and triggering Democratic plans to expand midterm targets into states like Ohio, Florida, and Texas. However, the result has also reignited intraparty disputes over ideological positioning, with some moderates arguing for broader appeal to swing voters. The Hill underscores GOP alarm at the closer-than-expected margin, as high turnout and Democratic overperformance hint at possible vulnerabilities for Republicans in the upcoming cycle.

Trump Faces Waning Returns from ‘Blame Biden’ Strategy
The Hill observes that President Trump’s habitual blaming of Biden for economic woes is losing potency as he approaches a year in office. With economic anxieties mounting and public patience wearing thin, the GOP’s traditional advantage on fiscal issues appears to be eroding, forcing Republicans to recalibrate their messaging before the midterms.

International Affairs: Ukraine Peace Talks and Global Tensions
Deep Divisions Over Trump’s Ukraine Peace Talks as Putin Stiffens Demands
A series of reports from Politico Europe, The Guardian, and Washington Post reveal mounting European anxiety over President Trump’s backchannel peace efforts with Russia regarding Ukraine. A leaked call, reported by Der Spiegel and cited in The Guardian, shows French President Macron warning other European leaders of a possible U.S. “betrayal” of Ukraine, with concerns that Trump’s negotiators (Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner) are too accommodating to Moscow’s territorial demands. Politico Europe and Washington Post add that while Trump’s team presented an updated peace plan, Moscow has not eased its maximalist conditions, and European officials are increasingly calling for an independent EU-led peace strategy. The situation has been complicated by President Putin’s public statements reaffirming his intent to seize all of Donbas by force, directly contradicting U.S. claims of Russian openness to compromise.
