Republicans voice midterm concerns as Trump’s ratings weigh on party

publishers 2articles 2first reported 23 Sep, 10:00 UTCdeveloping since 22 Sep · 10 editions

Republican anxiety is growing ahead of the U.S. midterm elections as President Donald Trump faces low approval ratings, rising prices and political pressure over the Iran war, The Guardian reported. Democrats currently hold an advantage, although Republicans have invested heavily in pivotal races that could determine control of Congress.

At the Republican Party’s midterm convention, Trump sought to rally voters by proposing $5,000 checks and warning that electing Democrats would turn the United States into a “communist country.” Separately, Rolling Stone reported that new polling showed weakening support for Trump among Republicans, describing the findings as a “danger sign” for the party.
