Democrats have focused on attacking Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency for what they say is an overstep of authority.

But strategists say the strategy could have a short shelf life ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

The longer Musk remains in the public eye as a force, the more that gets reinforced, one Democratic strategist said.

Democrats have been capitalizing on anger toward Musk that has spilled into red and blue districts.

At recent town halls, constituents have attacked their Democratic and Republican representatives for not standing up against the “status quo” Republican strategist Doug Heye said most voters’ views of Musk are not centered on the federal government.
