Midterm elections nearing conclusion

The U.S. midterm elections, which determine control of the Senate and House of Representatives, are approaching their final phase as voters prepare to cast their ballots.

Trump's strategy in the elections

Former President Donald Trump has been actively campaigning for Republican candidates, aiming to influence the outcomes, despite the common perception that the incumbent president's party typically loses seats in midterms.

Analysis of Trump's approach

Romuald Sciora, director of the U.S. Political and Geostrategic Observatory at IRIS, notes that Trump has chosen to frame the elections as a referendum on his leadership, rather than simply trying to retain power.

Political implications of the strategy

This approach may shift the focus of the election from individual races to a broader evaluation of Trump's policies and the overall direction of the country, potentially affecting voter behavior and campaign messaging.
