As the United States approaches the midterm elections on November 3, Donald Trump is planning how to govern without Congress if the Democrats win, dnevnik.bg reported, citing Reuters. The strategy takes shape amid shifting voter momentum and spending on campaign advertising across the country, as reported by nova.bg.
Early Voting Surpasses 50 Million Ballots Nationwide
About 22.4 million voters returned their ballots by mail, while 27.4 million cast votes in person at polling stations. NBC News tracking places the total above 52 million, with Bloomberg noting that at least one in five registered voters has already participated. In states tracking party registration, registered Democrats account for 43.9% of early votes, Republicans for 31.3%, and independents for 24.8%, though these figures do not guarantee final outcomes.
Approval Ratings and Economic Pressures Shape Voter Sentiment
Public opinion polls show Trump facing low approval ratings ahead of the congressional elections. boulevardbulgaria.bg reported that only 36% of Americans support him, while 61% do not approve of his management. Inflation and the rising cost of living remain central issues for voters. As Ruben Gallego noted in an exclusive interview with nova.bg, many Americans struggle to afford housing or daily expenses because prices remain high.
Foreign Policy Shifts and Retaliation Concerns After the Vote
Analysts suggest that if congressional opposition blocks the president’s domestic agenda, his administration will focus heavily on foreign policy. boulevardbulgaria.bg reported that information has leaked that three American aircraft carrier groups are moving toward the Middle East as tensions with Iran persist. Observers note that a loss in the midterm elections would not turn him into a lame duck, but could instead provoke a combative response affecting international relations and military posture.
