Influencers at Turning Point USA’s Women’s Leadership Summit in San Antonio voiced concerns over unfulfilled promises from the Trump administration. Speakers highlighted issues like rising costs and foreign policy as reasons for potential voter disengagement ahead of the midterms.
A gathering of young conservative women in San Antonio this weekend revealed growing tensions within the Republican coalition. Attendees at the Turning Point USA Women’s Leadership Summit discussed a shift away from strict MAGA alignment toward an America First focus. Savanna Faith Stone, a 21-year-old influencer, said promises on gas prices and the economy have not been met. She noted that young women are realizing the difficulties of buying a home under current conditions. Alex Clark, a podcaster with a large following, told the White House that supporters want a more combative approach from President Trump. She cited ongoing conflicts, including the war in Iran, and other issues like pesticides as eroding trust. Republican figures including Rep. Kat Cammack and Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders acknowledged the need for better messaging on affordability and family issues. The White House pointed to actions on women’s sports and the child tax credit as evidence of progress.
