‘Just the start of the fallout’: Ex-GOP insider points to ‘red flags’ for ‘troubled’ Party

There are a “lot of red flags” for Republicans when it comes to the economy, according to a former GOP lawmaker.
Ex-representative David Jolly appeared on MSNBC on Sunday, and was asked about how Trump has been able to “squander away” his high polling numbers after less than 60 days in office.
According to Jolly, it’s all part of Trump’s “shtick.”

“I mean, he insults his opponents. He insults people who don’t agree with him. Look what he did at the joint address to congress when he tried to shame Democrats,” Jolly said. “I mean, his very behavior does not invite new people in. And so I think if you’re Republicans right now and you’re right, this isn’t about Donald Trump. He won’t be on the ballot again. But for sober Republicans, there are a lot of red flags right now.”
Jolly continued, saying that “the majority of the country disapproves of the direction he’s going, and we’re just at the start of the fallout.”
If we enter stagflation, or if “we see the real hits to the economy that the tariffs could bring,” then “down the line, down-ballot Republicans, you’re in a lot of trouble.”
