The Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) coalition that helped propel Donald Trump to the White House is losing steam. Vaccine skeptics, organic‑food advocates and environmental activists who rallied behind Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s health‑freedom message now feel betrayed after Trump signed an executive order expanding production of glyphosate, the weedkiller marketed as Roundup. Former teacher Tricia Busch told the Times the move shattered her trust in the administration.

MAHA leaders warn that their base—predominantly white, female and unaffiliated with any party—may simply stay home in November. The PAC run by Tony Lyons launched a March drive to raise $100 million for “MAHA‑aligned, Trump‑endorsed” candidates, yet filings show only $1.2 million collected through February. Figures such as Alex Clark and Zen Honeycutt stress that voters care about concrete action, not party labels.

Democrats see an opening, fielding senators such as Cory Booker and Chellie Pingree to denounce glyphosate while courting the “organic moms” who feel abandoned by the GOP. A Supreme Court hearing on Bayer’s Roundup liability will host a MAHA rally titled The People v. Poison, underscoring the clash between corporate chemical interests and a disenchanted voter bloc. Their turnout will shape upcoming elections.
