Trump economy is hollowing out the Republican base
Let's Flip These Seats!

The first quarter of 2025 saw a challenging start for the U.S. economy. Nationally, real GDP contracted by 0.5%, marking a slowdown from the previous quarter’s modest growth.
Only 10 states posted positive economic growth, while the majority experienced declines across major industries. Sharp regional differences are noticeable with some areas buoyed by service-sector gains and others hit hard by downturns in agriculture and manufacturing.
Gains were largely driven by real estate, rental, and leasing sectors, along with steady consumer spending. Nationwide, goods-producing industries struggled compared to service-based sectors.
