His tariffs on oranges cheered Florida and Texas. His tariffs on tomatoes thrilled Florida, Georgia, N. Carolina, Ohio, & Tennessee.

Senate Dems saw no popular uproar over the loss of SNAP benefits. No poor people screaming at Republicans.

Without voters screaming at the GOP, the Dems were going to lose this. Period.
