Overview

• On July 5, Musk formally announced the America Party on X after a poll saw 65% of roughly 1.25 million respondents vote in favor.
• He outlined a plan to concentrate on 2–3 Senate seats and 8–10 House districts where thin majorities could make the party the deciding vote.
• A Quantus Insights survey conducted June 30–July 2 found that 40% of U.S. voters would be likely to support a party initiated by Musk.
• Musk casts the America Party as an alternative to the Republican-Democratic uniparty and a check on unfettered government spending.
• The launch follows a public rift with President Trump over the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill,’ which Musk argues will swell the deficit.
