Democrats see an opening ahead of the midterm elections with increasingly disappointed Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) voters. Many activists in the MAHA base are furious with the Trump administration over its backing of a controversial weed killer and pesticides more broadly. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s defense of those moves has deepened the sense of disillusionment among his followers who helped deliver President Trump to the White House. An executive order prioritized the domestic production of glyphosate, a key ingredient in Roundup, a controversial herbicide that’s widely used in commercial farming. The administration also sided with drug company Bayer in a Supreme Court lawsuit over the chemical. On Capitol Hill, tensions flared over language in the farm bill that would have restricted certain lawsuits against pesticide companies — though the language was ultimately stripped via amendment Thursday.
