Impact of Elections on Political Future
The midterm elections scheduled for November 3 could have a significant impact on the direction of the last two years of Trump's presidency as well as Congress. Currently, Republicans control the White House and Congress, but this situation is expected to change after the midterm elections. Races in states like Texas, Georgia, and Michigan are being closely monitored.
In Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed, an American Muslim Democrat, is competing against Mike Rogers, who is backed by Trump. Additionally, James Talarico, a former teacher and Democrat, is running against Ken Paxson, a Republican, in conservative Texas. Typically, the president's party loses a number of congressional seats in midterm elections, and according to the latest polls, Trump's approval rating is around 35 percent.
