Pennsylvania — the state that veteran Democratic strategist James Carville famously characterized as Philadelphia in the east, Pittsburgh in the west and Alabama in between — showed how much of a swing state it is when it went for Donald Trump in 2016 and favored Joe Biden in 2020 only to narrowly go for Trump again in 2024. The MAGA movement still has plenty of supporters in Central Pennsylvania, the area of the state that Pennsylvanians jokingly called "Pennsyltucky." But with the United States now at war with Iran, one Trump voter in Central Pennsylvania expressed feelings of buyer's remorse during an interview with NBC News.
Voters in Millersburg, Pennsylvania north of Harrisburg discussed the Iran war with NBC News' Jon Allen. Some of them expressed favorable views on Trump's Iran policy, even it means paying higher gas prices.
But when Allen asked Amanda Robbins — who voted for Trump in 2016, 2020 and 2024 — what she would say to Trump about Iran if he were in Millersburg with her, she replied, "You are a worthless pile of s——." Noting that she voted for Trump "three times," Robbins added, "That was my bad. Apparently, I'm an idiot."
Robbins, Allen reported, is furious with Trump over the Iran war. Allen noted, "This is going to be the real pressure test for President Trump and Republicans in the midterms… how many of them who voted for him are: (A) sticking with Republicans, and (B) going to show up in the midterms."

However, while lower interest rates tend to raise asset prices long-term, Puckrin warned of a short-term price correction. “The main risk is that the move is already priced in, Puckrin said, adding, “hope is high and there’s a big chance of a ‘sell the news’ pullback. When that happens, speculative corners, memecoins in particular, are most vulnerable.”Read more
