Democrats to investigate Trump deals, with eye on 2028 race
AFTER sweeping both chambers of the US Congress, Democrats will turn their new investigative powers on the Trump family’s business deals as they make what they call corruption a central part of a 2028 campaign for the White House.
Democrats will probe Trump's business deals ahead of 2028 presidential race, as they pursue corruption as a key campaign issue. Republicans received a stern warning when Democrats took control of the Senate and House in Tuesday's midterm elections. Lawmakers intend to scrutinize Trump administration agreements with pharmaceutical firms on drug pricing.
The Trump administration has denied any wrongdoing and is pushing back against pending investigations. Lawmaker Rachel Cotton predicts a surge of aggressive and broad investigations targeting both the administration and private companies. Democrats aim to link the alleged corruption to the entire Republican party in order to block Trump's potential 2028 run.
However, politicians must strike a delicate balance between exposing corruption and addressing voter concerns about rising consumer goods and gas prices.
