Donald Trump’s actions stir election concerns in the lead-up to US midterms
Al Jazeera
November midterms will be first major US election since Trump took office and follow false claims over 2020 loss.
Washington, DC – President Donald Trump has long been fixated on how voting in the United States is administered, claiming without evidence that his 2020 presidential election loss was the result of malfeasance.
Fast forward more than five years, and Trump is set to be in office for one of the most consequential midterm races in recent times.
It is unclear how the US president might involve himself in the midterms, which will determine whether his Republican Party maintains control over both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
The results will decide whether Trump can continue to enact his agenda with relative ease or if he will face congressional pushback at every turn.
The Republican leader’s approach so far appears to be twofold, according to Michael Traugott, a political scientist and professor emeritus at the University of Michigan.
