Trump’s Midterm Gambit | Portland Maine News

Trump is doubling down on the midterms, hitting the campaign trail to energize Republicans and treat key races as personal battlegrounds, promising 35 visits to swing states. At the GOP convention, he and allies launched a blistering attack on Democrats, branding them too liberal and dangerous to American values. He’s zeroed in on specific races — painting Michigan’s Democratic Senate candidate as extreme, linking North Carolina’s nominee to crime and disaster failures, and endorsing Texas’ Republican AG as the nation’s best. Forecasters see a razor-thin battle for Congress, with Republicans holding slight Senate advantages but Democrats poised to flip the House with just a few wins. Losing either chamber would severely hamstring Trump’s agenda and invite intense congressional scrutiny. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
