Even the conservative pundit is demanding better from Republicans.
Bill O’Reilly warned Republicans that they’re in trouble after new polling showed voters don’t believe enough is being done to tackle affordability. The 76-year-old conservative pundit said the party could take a hit in the midterms as he reacted Wednesday to a series of polls showing Americans are increasingly stressed about the cost of living.
“There’s no doubt about it. President Trump and his administration, if they want to hold the House and Senate next November, they gotta get the prices down—of insurance, healthcare, car, house, and food." O'Reilly promised to be hard on Republicans ahead of 2026 as polls show Americans are worried about the cost of living.O’Reilly cited a November Marist University poll showing a vast majority of Americans believe the cost of living should be President Donald Trump’s top priority. He also pointed to June Gallup data that found that that 90 percent of Americans feel they pay too much for healthcare, and 52 percent say healthcare costs cause daily stress. “It is a very compelling issue. You’ve got to get health insurance premiums, Medicaid, and Medicare spending under control, and that includes Obamacare,” he said.Tom Williams/Tom Williams/CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty Images O’Reilly also demanded better from GOP congressional leaders Mike Johnson and John Thune, urging them to address Americans’ affordability concerns ahead of the 2026 midterms. “I’m not seeing a healthcare proposal on the table, do you? So Johnson and Thune, the two big boys in Congress, you better get something going,” he said. Though he acknowledged he “favors” Republicans, O’Reilly promised that he would be “ruthless” in his criticism of the GOP. “I have to be fair, and I will be. And I’m going to be ruthless in how I cover the next 12 months because the Republicans have power now,” he said. Donald Trump has dismissed"affordability" concerns as a Democratic"con," but GOP politicians and pundits have been urging the White House to address American concerns about the cost of living.after they refused to cave to Senate Democrats’ demand to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies, leading to the October-November government shutdown.
