US Election 2026 | Internet,Nov. 2: US President Donald Trump made a final push for Republican voters in Florida, Iowa and Kansas over the weekend, ahead of Tuesday’s midterm elections. Republicans are trying to keep control of Congress. All three states went to Trump in past elections, and his visits there show how defensive the party has become.
Trump also joined tele-rallies for candidates in Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania. He has campaigned non-stop, even in areas once seen as safe Republican territory.
Facing voter anger over prices, especially fuel, groceries and health care, Trump tried to shift the focus to Democrats. The source says prices have risen since the war in Iran began more than eight months ago. At the rallies, he said Democrats would “bankrupt” families if elected. He claimed they would “open the border” and “take away your guns.” He also told supporters that he had turned the country into a “golden age” after Democrats left it in a “dark age.”
US Election 2026 | Polls give Democrats an edge in the US midterms
Polls suggest Democrats have a good chance of winning at least partial control of Congress. That would check Trump’s power and upend the last two years of his presidency. A Harvard forecasting tool gives Democrats a 96 per cent chance of taking the House and 76 per cent in the Senate. An NBC News poll shows registered voters preferring a Democrat-controlled Congress by 52 per cent to 45 per cent.
Democratic House leader Hakeem Jeffries said he was “very confident” of winning the House. Former President Barack Obama and other senior Democrats also made final appeals. Some Republicans, the source says, are uneasy about Trump’s appeal to moderate voters.
In Michigan’s tight Senate race, Congresswoman Haley Stevens endorsed Republican Mike Rogers on Sunday. She had lost the Democratic nomination to Abdul El-Sayed. Fellow Democrats condemned the move, while Trump called her “very brave.”
Trump and his administration have repeatedly cast doubt on the credibility and security of the vote. The source notes that evidence shows voter fraud is rare. The Justice Department has launched investigations or demanded that votes be set aside in several states.
Midterms are seen as a verdict on a president’s performance, and the White House party usually loses seats. Republicans hold slim majorities in both chambers. A Democratic majority could challenge Trump’s agenda and give the party investigative powers over his administration.
