Trump's Sagging Approval Ratings Threaten Republican Congressional Majority
· World · The Independent, Axios
President Donald Trump's low approval ratings are creating significant challenges for Republicans as they attempt to maintain control of Congress in the upcoming midterm elections. Analysts suggest that Democrats are currently favored to capture the House, which would grant them subpoena power and the ability to launch investigations into the administration. The Senate race remains less certain, though a Democratic victory there would allow the party to block judicial and executive nominees. Recent polling indicates that voters are particularly dissatisfied with the economy and the ongoing conflict with Iran. Republicans currently hold a narrow 218-214 majority in the House.
Why it matters
