With the midterm elections a little over two weeks away, the polls and prediction markets look good for Democrats and bad for Republicans.
In his rallies around the country, Trump is urging voters to pretend he is on the ballot and if the polls are right, voters are doing just that.
With his approval numbers at historic lows, Trump is dragging down the Republican ticket. Facing the growing inevitability of humiliation in the midterms, Trump privately fumes, plotting his revenge.
Election officials across the country are trying to prepare for some sort of disruption like the last time Trump lost an election, but it’s hard to know what he will do this time. Once again, American democracy hangs in the balance, with a traitor in the White House.
Welcome to the USA, circa 2026.
