There’s a new player in the Republican donation processing space. But for now, at least, consultants are staying on the fence.

The new platform, called PSQ Impact, launched last month as the first real competitor to GOP small-dollar fundraising clearinghouse WinRed, promising fundraisers lower processing fees and more transparency in how it handles contributions.

Democrats’ concerns about the future of American democracy run deep. Republicans cite immigration as one of the top issues facing the United States. Americans overwhelmingly say that the two parties can’t agree on basic facts.

The country’s deep political divide – rooted not only in policy differences, but in disagreements on the actual problems themselves – has thrown a wrench into traditional campaigning, forcing pollsters, consultants and campaign workers to reassess how they do their jobs. Gone are the days of uniting the electorate with broad themes of hope, change or making America great again. A large swath of voters are firm in their beliefs, and moving the needle is more challenging than ever.

"Ahead of the 2026 midterms, the Republican Party has a wake-up call. Ignoring it could be a catastrophic mistake.

"Republicans don’t have a messaging problem; they have a distribution problem. In 2026, the campaigns that win will be the ones that master attention, audience targeting and message sequencing across the platforms voters actually use. Linear TV is slowly fading, audiences are fracturing and attention spans are shrinking. That’s not a setback; it is an opening."

"Online influencers are no longer an experiment: they’re infrastructure.

"In 2025, for the first time, influencers and content creators will receive more advertising revenue than traditional media. Political campaigns, on the other hand, are late to the party.

"Since launching the first influencer program at the White House, I’ve worked with over 2,000 creators, executing over 700 campaigns in the last year alone. I’ve learned that most campaigns treat influencers like glorified retweet machines. But they can be so much more than that."

In the past year, Rep. Ro Khanna’s (D-Calif.) campaign TikTok account went from 173,000 views to 68 million. Twelve-thousand engagements turned to 9.1 million. He now has the second biggest account in Congress by total views.

Khanna’s exponential growth on the popular video platform wasn’t a fluke or the result of a lucky streak for the California congressman. Rather, it was thanks to a concerted effort that kicked off early this year as a looming ban on TikTok threatened to go into effect.

The Democratic National Committee is scrapping the release of its long-awaited review of the 2024 election.

The report was intended to be a comprehensive examination of the factors that led to a series of bruising Democratic losses last year. Party officials interviewed more than 300 Democrats across the country as part of the effort, which was initially cast by DNC Chair Ken Martin as a critical step towards righting the Democratic ship.

"They hammered opponents on affordability, showed what fighting looks like and adapted to today’s information environment better than ever before. But underneath a seemingly good year, risk is building: if the party doesn’t adjust to how artificial intelligence and digital platforms are transforming campaigns and voter behavior, last year’s victories won’t be enough to carry them through 2026."

In our latest Industry Voices piece, Betsy Hoover of Higher Ground Labs and campaign strategist Josh Hendler analyze what Democratic candidates and campaigns need to focus on throughout 2026.
