Midterms: Amerikaner „extrem besorgt“: Plötzlich könnten Korruptions-Vorwürfe Donald Trump Stimmen kosten
Lange sah es so aus, als profitierten der US-Präsident und seine Familie finanziell von seiner Präsidentschaft, ohne dass dies Folgen hätte. Doch kurz vor den Zwischenwahlen dreht die Stimmung.
Washington. Wealthy Qatari gifts, questionable stock trades, and suspicious cryptocurrency dealings have long been linked to former US President Donald Trump and his family. Despite frequent coverage by US media, public outrage remained scarce. In an early-year interview with the "New York Times," Trump dismissed the subject, stating that no one cared about the affairs involving him and his family.
However, just before the crucial midterm elections on November 3, the mood shifted. These elections, pivotal for the remainder of Trump's presidency, took place ahead of schedule. Recent polls indicate that corruption has become the top concern for voters. CNBC reported on Friday that 36% of surveyed individuals cited government corruption as one of the most pressing issues currently facing the nation.
Food and other daily necessities ranked second at 34%, followed by democracy protection and gasoline prices, each at 23%.
