Trump’s Economy Goes to the Polls
Trump wants Republicans to run on his record in the midterms. Democrats do as well.
The upcoming midterm elections are often seen as referendums on the policies of the party in power. President Trump is hoping that Republicans will use his time in office to sway voters and steer into the polls. However, this strategy could backfire and help Democrats, who are banking on Americans wanting something different. Congress is set to fund the government, and while this is looking less controversial, there may be a few eyebrow-raising items.
Both parties are gearing up for the election, with Republicans hoping to continue the president's policies and Democrats trying to halt his agenda. President Trump plans to roll out a series of TV ads touting his record leading up to the midterms, potentially signaling his administration's confidence in the election prospects and his image.
