"You're seeing a lot of people very inspired by President Trump,"
"They're excited to serve in this body alongside him and the White House. That's been a tool and a motivating factor for so many people who want to run."
"It's about having ordinary Americans step up"
"draws a sharp contrast with the actions of these MAGA extremists,"
Brian Jack, a first-term Republican congressman from Georgia, serves as the top recruiter for his party's House campaign team and frequently reviews polling and candidate biographies with President Donald Trump. Lauren Underwood, an Illinois Democratic congresswoman and former health care advocate and registered nurse, works by phone to identify and counsel community-focused candidates. Both lawmakers were shaped by the 2018 midterms: Underwood won a seat then, and Jack became White House political director afterward. Republicans are embracing Trump and the MAGA agenda to energize the base, while Democrats seek ordinary Americans with local service to challenge the slim GOP House majority.
