Midterms: Americans "extremely concerned": Suddenly, corruption allegations could cost Donald Trump votes
For a long time, it seemed as though the US president and his family were profiting financially from his presidency without any consequences. But just before the midterm elections, the mood is shifting.
Amerikaners feel "extremely concerned" as allegations of corruption involving former President Donald Trump could cost him votes in the upcoming midterm elections. The issue of Trump and his family's financial dealings has been a recurring topic in US media, but there has been little outrage over it. In an early 2023 interview with the "New York Times," Trump dismissed concerns about his family's business activities.
However, the mood is changing as voters prepare for the crucial midterms, which take place on November 3rd. The elections will determine the entire House of Representatives, parts of the Senate, and in several states, new governors. This vote is seen as pivotal for the remainder of Trump's presidency.
Just days before the vote, multiple surveys reveal that corruption has risen to the top of voters' concerns. A CNBC poll published on Friday found that 36% of respondents cited government corruption as one of the most pressing issues facing the country. Coming in second place was 34%, followed by the protection of democracy and fuel prices, each at 23%.
