The Democratic Party’s credibility with voters has plummeted since the 2024 election, according to a poll conducted by Unite the Country, a Democratic super PAC. The poll showed voters perceived the Democratic Party as “out of touch,” “woke” and “weak,”raising alarm bells as the party looks to rebuild ahead of the midterms and next presidential election.

ROKK Co-Founder and Partner Rodell Mollineau, who also serves as a senior advisor to Unite the Country, shared his thoughts on the poll’s insights with The Hill.

President Trump muscled a 900-page package through a closely divided Congress—and that might have been the easy part.

The tax and policy bill, which Trump dubbed the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” encompasses much of his second-term agenda. Trump managed to sign it by his own Fourth of July deadline.

Ron Bonjean, ROKK Partner and Co-Founder, shared his thoughts with NPR on Trump’s continuous uphill battle of promoting the bill’s benefits. 

As Congress works to pass President Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill,” the public feud between Elon Musk and Trump has resurfaced. Musk, the world’s richest man, stated that he will back primary challengers against any Republicans who support Trump’s megabill. 

ROKK Partner and Republican strategist Ron Bonjean shared his thoughts on the feud and what it means for the Republican Party in The Hill.

Following the U.S. bombing in Iran, Washington has been reacting to the lack of congressional oversight and whether the strike advanced the U.S.’s goals to set back Iran’s nuclear program.

President Trump and Elon Musk had a public fallout on X and Truth Social, triggered by disagreements over the President’s “big beautiful bill” that some have feared could halt the bill’s momentum. Despite this, Republicans have rallied behind the President, insisting that Musk’s comments would do little to derail the tax bill. 

ROKK Co-Founder and Republican strategist Ron Bonjean shared his thoughts about the fallout and what it may mean for the landmark bill in Financial Times. 

In the early edition of Balance of Power, Democratic strategist and ROKK Partner Kristen Hawn sat down with Bloomberg’s Washington correspondents Joe Mathieu and Kailey Leinz to share her insights on the Senate making changes to the Trump Tax Bill and other Washington headlines.

Under President Trump, the House and the Senate have been tasked with negotiating a tax and spending agenda that risks the possibility of a Treasury default by August if an agreement cannot be reached. Republican strategist and ROKK Co-Founder Ron Bonjean spoke with NPR’s Steve Inskeep about the Senate’s path forward and more on Morning Edition.

Elon Musk, who spent nearly $300 million to back Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and other Republicans last year, said on Tuesday he will cut his political spending substantially, the latest public signal that he is shifting his attention back to his business empire amid growing investor concerns.

Musk also said he was committed to staying on as Tesla’s CEO for another five years, seeking to address questions about how he has balanced his role at the automaker with his involvement in the Trump administration, where he had overseen a massive cost-cutting effort across the federal bureaucracy.

ROKK Co-Founder and Partner Ron Bonjean spoke with Reuters about whether Musk’s cut back on political spending will impact fundraising for the GOP.

Pete Hegseth’s leaked Signal chats are still making headlines but how are Congress and the President reacting?

ROKK Partner Kristen Hawn appeared on Bloomberg’s Balance of Power to discuss this and more.
