E.J. Antoni, Donald Trump’s nominee for BLS commissioner, has proposed suspending the monthly jobs report, advocating for the use of quarterly data instead. Antoni, previously the Heritage Foundation’s chief economist, cited concerns about the accuracy of the monthly figures, arguing that a lack of confidence in the data could have serious consequences for businesses and policymakers. This proposal follows Trump’s dismissal of the previous BLS commissioner and claims that the July jobs report was inaccurate due to revisions in employment figures.

A July 2025 survey conducted by Leger, in partnership with 338Canada and Maintenant Media, revealed that 47% of Republican voters stated that official implication of Donald Trump in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking activities would not affect their vote. The survey, which polled around 1,000 American voters, showed that this percentage of Republican voters would still support Trump despite any involvement in Epstein’s crimes. While this demonstrates voter loyalty, other polls indicate a divided perspective on Trump’s handling of the Epstein case and a widespread desire for transparency. Notably, the survey highlighted that the claim that 47% of Republican voters would still support Trump if he were implicated in the Epstein case was accurate.
