Being gay is normal. Gay friends, gay family members, and gay marriages are normal. Our Respect for Marriage Act now heads to the President’s desk – ensuring same-sex married couples enjoy the same protections as all other married couples. It’s a great day in America.

Trump's brand is beloved in the primaries, but toxic in the general. It’s something Trump-endorsed candidates learned in the midterm elections, and why the consistent message from other GOP hopefuls so far has been electability.

Trump can't afford to get rid of his brand bc MAGA has taken on a life of its own. It's a party-within-a-party: The number of of candidates who use logos inspired by Trump’s is on the rise, and some went so far this year as to include β€œTrump-endorsed” in their branding.

β€œMake America Great Again” remains (Trump briefly attempted to use β€œKeep America Great,” or KAG, in 2020, but dropped it after COVID-19). The latest edition of the MAGA hat sells for $38, includes the number 47 stitched on the side, and only comes in red.

Trump’s 2024 logo is updated slightly, with his name taller in Gotham, a typeface previously used by Obama, rather than the stout, more compact Akzidenz-Grotesk Bold Extended used in previous versions. The stars are bigger, and most noticeably, Pence’s last name is gone.

Ford used a minimalist sans-serif logo during his losing 1976 campaign, and 4 years later, Republicans won w/ Reagan, whose campaign branding used serifs. Obama popularized the single-letter logo, but after Clinton’s 2016 loss (& her divisive H logo), Dems ditched the style.

Historically, political parties have attempted to rebuild after losing an election by getting behind a different candidate who can assemble a broader coalition. Oftentimes that comes with new visual signifiers to convey that things are moving in a different direction.
