Donald Trump launches midterm campaign tour amid low approval ratings
US President Donald Trump has launched a midterm election campaign tour, starting in Denton, Texas, and continuing through Oklahoma, Alabama, and Ohio. While promoting his administration's achievements, Trump acknowledged low approval ratings and suggested that his team may not be effectively communicating their successes.
Polling data indicates significant challenges for the Republican Party. A Wall Street Journal survey found that only 25 percent of Americans believe his economic policies have improved the country, while 60 percent believe the economic situation has worsened. Additionally, an NBC News poll showed a nine-point lead for Democrats among likely voters regarding congressional majorities.
Internal Republican concerns have surfaced, with some advisors suggesting the party could lose control of both the House and the Senate. Betting platforms like Polymarket place the probability of a Democratic House victory at over 90 percent. If Democrats gain control, they could initiate investigations or impeachment proceedings against Trump.
