Republicans are worried about the midterms. Trump is focused on his legacy.
As his approval ratings sag, Trump is on a mission to burnish his legacy, according to his advisers.
President Trump has been preoccupied with his legacy as his approval ratings have declined, according to his advisers. He has taken steps to burnish his image, such as ranking himself as the greatest U.S. president in an AI-generated image and commissioning physical reminders of his time in office, like construction projects and commemorative coins.
Trump's focus on himself, however, has raised concerns among Republicans who are worried that it could harm their efforts to retain control of Congress. The president's senior advisers have been attempting to steer him towards the economy, but his attention often wavers to other issues. The Republican National Committee, which has amassed a war chest of over $400 million, has not yet begun spending the funds, leaving some Republicans frustrated.
Despite low approval ratings, Trump remains confident that his tax cuts will resonate with voters and that he can still motivate Republicans to participate in the midterms.
