US: Trump labels Democrats ‘dangerous’ ahead of midterms
Donald Trump urged voters to treat the 3 November midterm elections as exceptionally important, while warning that a sitting president’s party usually loses midterms. He also accused Democrats of putting forward the most extreme and dangerous candidates in US history, as control of Congress is at stake for the remainder of his term.
Trump’s comments came amid debate over the war with Iran and its effects on living and energy costs. The article reports that the US Supreme Court rejected his attempt to block 20,000 California ballots, and that a US strike on Iran’s Qeshm Island was reported but not officially confirmed. Democrats were expected to regain the House, while the Senate race was considered close; the result could shape both parties’ strategies for 2028.
In short
- Trump called the midterms crucial but said incumbents usually lose.
- He accused Democrats of nominating extreme candidates.
- Control of Congress could shape policy and the 2028 race.
