Trump-Watch: Wird Trump zum Wahlkampfrisiko? – Die Trump-News der Woche

In this week's Trump-Watch, the former President Donald Trump is touring the United States to assist Republican candidates in their election campaigns. In North Carolina, he is advocating for Senate contender Michael Whatley, who is trailing behind Democrat Roy Cooper in polls. However, the proximity to the President raises the question: is it a strategic move or a potential campaign risk?

On a podcast, host Christian Lammert speaks with Dana Heide, Washington correspondent for the Handelsblatt, about Trump's strategy heading into the midterm elections. He enquires if Trump mobilizes his base with his sharp rhetoric or if he instead scares away voters needed by his party for a majority.

Other news in the Trump-Watch includes Washington engaging in new talks with Russia, as well as the ongoing uncertainty over Ukraine receiving Patriot interceptors. In California, the US Attorney's Office is filing charges against 28 individuals on allegations of election and registration offenses, simultaneously increasing pressure on election workers.

The question remains: what is proven and what is being turned into political action? Meanwhile, in Washington, a public golf course has become a point of contention between the government and the courts. A federal judge has set limits on Trump's redevelopment plans, raising the larger issue of how the judiciary enforces its directives over the government.
