Voters in Fauquier County, Virginia—where about 60% backed Trump in 2024—are largely pleased with his performance a year into his second term, creditting an improving economy and a push to revive U.S. industry, but they also flag ongoing concerns about rising living costs, taxes, immigration policy, federal job cuts, and the broader political divisiveness that could slow his agenda.
Republicans have retained their majority in the US House, ensuring unified control of the elected branches of government under Donald Trump. This outcome limits Democratic efforts to challenge Trump's agenda, particularly regarding the extension and introduction of tax cuts.
Early voting in Texas for the 2024 election saw over 9 million participants, a decrease from 2020's 9.7 million. This decline is largely due to a significant drop in mail-in voting, with only 347,652 mail ballots cast compared to 937,870 in 2020. The reduction in early voting time from three weeks in 2020 to two weeks this year also contributed to the lower turnout. Despite this, the number of early voters is still higher than in any previous presidential election except 2020. Democratic turnout has lagged, particularly in major urban areas, while Republican counties have maintained strong early voting numbers.
