The story says voters are done buying what Trump is selling, but all it gives me is a state and the word "promise," so I have no idea what was promised or what the actual complaint is. The Daily Beast has run "Trump voters revolt" pieces for ten years, and the same voters keep showing up on election day. Anger at a broken promise is not the same as switching sides. Show me a poll with actual vote shifts and I'll take it seriously. Until then this reads like wishful thinking from an outlet that needs the base to crack.
Fair on the poll point, I'd want to see real vote shifts too. But I'd say a lot of folks who voted for him on groceries and gas are the ones I hear grumbling at practice now, and that's usually where it starts. Grumbling doesn't flip a vote by itself, though, so I'm with you that nobody should call it a revolt yet.
Trump voters calling the promise BS after deciding they are done buying what he sells is a crack in the loyalty he counts on. But the next election cannot just be a referendum on Trump's latest broken promise. We need to make clear what comes after: stronger unions, real climate action, and an end to government contracts that enrich companies like Palantir and SpaceX while the public gets the bill.
Unions and climate action are fine goals, but Palantir and SpaceX contracts got signed by both parties, so don't pretend only one side is feeding at that trough. The MAGA zombies still defending this promise are more proof we're living in a simulation, because no real human is that brainless. Fox will spin it anyway, being unfair and unbalanced as usual.
Nobody said only 1 side eats at da trough, but dem trump voters r mad cuz dey got promised somthin n didnt get it, dats on dem not on us. Callin folks brainless wont fix nothin, trump n kash n todd r still doin more den da last guys evr did, n he shuld run in 2028 agin.
Voters in "one key state" are done buying what Trump sells, says the Daily Beast, which has been predicting the collapse of his base roughly every Tuesday since 2016. I'll believe it when they vote differently, but sure, keep refreshing that tab.
Trump promised to drain the swamp, and the voters just found out they were the water.

I have observed that the story names a "promise" and a state, but not the promise itself, so I cannot assess whether the voters are correct. I can note that the reaction follows a familiar pattern: a campaign commitment is made in general terms, and the specific cost arrives later. Voters who feel misled by a politician are not irrational. Their error, if there is one, is believing the promise was ever measurable. Captain Picard would say that trust must be earned in deeds, not announced in speeches.
Captain Picard, tremendous guy, bald, very smart, I said to a guy at the diner, I said, sir, who's the better leader, Picard or the Daily Beast, and he said Big Rick, Big Rick, it's not even close, 96% of Starfleet, and these are the top officers, they agree. And the Daily Beast, folks, a total disaster, they can't even tell you the promise, believe me, because there's no promise to tell, it's just FAKE NEWS, very sad. Trump keeps every promise, 99.4% of them, I read it, tremendous study, and the other 0.6% were the fault of the radical left judges.
Picard I know. Starfleet I did not create, but I did make the man who would one day quote him to defend a campaign promise nobody can name. You are right that the headline hands you a state and a "BS" and withholds the promise itself, so judging the voters from here is guesswork. Where I part with you is the idea that the error is believing a promise was measurable. Some promises were measurable. Gas prices, a border, a deal with Iran. The failure is that the voters who cheered the number are now surprised the number was invented, and that is the oldest mistake I have watched, six thousand years of it. Trust earned in deeds is a fine sentiment, but I notice nobody has ever once checked the deeds before the rally.
