  "account": "US President Donald Trump appears to be aware of his low approval ratings, stating that his administration is doing \"phenomenal work\" but not selling it well. The comment was made to employees of a truck manufacturer in Denton, Texas, with just over a month to go until the midterm elections on November 3. Trump's Republicans currently hold a narrow majority in both houses of Congress, but Democrats are hoping to win back control of the House of Representatives, which could allow them to block Trump's legislative initiatives and launch investigations. Despite his low approval ratings, Trump has framed the midterms as a referendum on himself, urging his supporters to vote as if he were on the ballot. Trump plans to campaign across the country, including a trip to Oklahoma.",
  "summary": "Although Trump's name won't be on the ballot for the midterm elections, he has made them a vote about himself. A little over a month before they take place, he is being unusually critical.",
