Republican pollster Kristen Soltis Anderson said on CNN Monday that the emergence of Elon Musk’s America Party could upend Republicans’ slim advantage in the upcoming midterm elections.
Musk said he’s launching a third political party. He also said that “when it comes to bankrupting” the country “with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy.” During an appearance on “The Arena,” Anderson said Musk’s new political project is quietly eroding the GOP’s midterm edge and threatens to siphon off just enough voters to tip the balance in key battlegrounds.
“But, interestingly, we‘ve been talking about the Elon Musk of it all. I asked voters in some recent polling who would you vote for in the midterm, Republican or Democrat? Republicans are actually slightly ahead on that question, even though we‘ve talked about, oh, [what] the Big Beautiful Bill is going to do. Republicans are still in good shape, I think, heading into that midterm over a year from now,” Anderson said.
