President Trump is actively intervening in the 2026 midterm elections, employing tactics unprecedented in modern US history. His actions include redrawing congressional maps, targeting voter rolls and mail-in voting, and ordering investigations into Democratic fundraising. This intervention is fueled by his belief that focusing on crime will benefit Republicans. Experts express concern about his methods, viewing them as an assault on fair elections and a potential threat to democracy. While Trump's actions might indicate a perceived weakness for the Republican party in the upcoming midterms, the long-term impact remains uncertain.
