Incumbents in both parties are heading into the 2026 primaries with a new problem: the loudest threat isn’t always the other side—it’s their own base. Dissatisfied voters inside each coalition are signaling they want receipts, not slogans, and they’re increasingly willing to punish leaders who feel insulated.
