0:00 / 0:55

President Donald Trump has warned that congressional Republicans risk major defeats in the upcoming midterm elections due to legislative inaction. In recent statements, Trump emphasized that voters feel disappointed with lawmakers for failing to advance his core political agenda. Citing public frustration, he noted that constituents remain angry at party members rather than his own leadership, despite widespread national disapproval ratings. To mitigate potential backlash, Trump urged supporters to act as if he were actively on the ballot. Meanwhile, administration officials maintained that the president remains fully committed to supporting Republican candidates nationwide. However, his aggressive positioning and separate convention plans have heightened anxiety among GOP legislators who fear bearing the political fallout of congressional gridlock during the upcoming electoral cycle.
