FIRST ON FOX: A new pro-Trump initiative aimed at fighting for the nation's seniors is being launched by former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer, who believes delivering for seniors will be key for Republicans heading into the 2026 midterms. In a video accompanying the launch of the new Seniors Matter For America (SMFA) initiative this week, it points out that while the youth vote received a lot of attention during the 2024 election, the upcoming midterms will be decided by older Americans, and it is essential conservatives don’t leave them behind. "Last November, President Trump made a promise to protect Social Security, safeguard Medicare and drive down drug costs, and he’s moving at record speed to fulfill these promises he made to seniors, who are key to MAGA victories in swing districts in 2026," Spicer told Fox News Digital. "Our coalition exists to support President Trump as he delivers on his seniors first, affordability agenda and keep his leadership on these issues top of mind as his administration continues to secure a Golden Age for generations to come."
