Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Kristen Wright. President Trump is in the swing state of Pennsylvania today. He's visiting a Mack Truck facility near Allentown to talk about the economy. NPR's Franco Ordoñez reports the president is under scrutiny by supporters from his own party ahead of the midterm elections in November.

It's not just Democrats who are concerned about the economy under Trump. Republicans are as well. I mean, twenty-two percent of Republicans say they disapprove of Trump's handling of the economy. That's a really big number for a president who has long had an iron grip on Republican support. I mean, Republican-elected officials, lawmakers, have been clamoring for Trump to zero in on the economy for f- months now, especially with the midterms approaching. They've been doing this over and over again, but the Trump administration continues to talk about these issues and foreign policy. I think the real question now is whether it's gonna be soon enough for Trump to make a difference.
