Trump Watch: Midterms: Verlieren die Republikaner die Mehrheit? Die Trump-News der Woche
Die Demokraten liegen in den Umfragen fünf Tage vor den Zwischenwahlen vorn. Barack Obama mobilisiert die Wähler und Donald Trump hält mit Investitionsversprechen dagegen.
In this installment of Trump Watch, host Christian Lammert speaks with Laurin Meyer, US correspondent for the Handelsblatt in New York, about the political landscape and economic concerns leading up to the midterms in the United States next Tuesday. Lammert and Meyer explain why races for the House of Representatives and the Senate need to be evaluated differently, and which states will become particularly important in the midterm elections.
They also discuss the economy as a campaign factor and the question of how energy prices, the Iran war, and concerns over personal purchasing power shape voter sentiment. Trump attempts a counter-message, highlighting the announced billion-dollar investment by Audi in Georgia and tax relief for the US state of Maine. Former President Barack Obama is also mentioned, with Lammert and Meyer discussing how he is courting democratic candidates and why mobilization is crucial now.
"Obama's message: this election is an opportunity to set limits for Trump," says Lammert. The duo also takes a look at election night and what it will reveal about whether Trump experiences a limited electoral defeat or a significant power loss.
