Trump’s inner circle shrinks as senior White House officials resign ahead of midterms
Several senior White House officials have recently resigned from US President Donald Trump's inner circle. Over the last month, the president's chief spokesperson, top legal adviser, a key national security adviser, and his liaison to Capitol Hill have all left their positions.
Trump is currently under pressure to maintain the Republican party's congressional majority in the upcoming midterms. According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll in August, Trump has a 33% approval rating.
The president has emphasized the importance of winning the midterms, stating that losing them would lead to negative consequences, including potential losses of tax cuts and other assets.
