  • Donald Trump faces midterm elections seen as a plebiscite on an increasingly questioned management.
  • The blockade of the Iran war has raised the price of oil, affecting U.S. households.
  • Trump has demonstrated control over the Republican Party but this strength can become a weakness in front of independent and moderate voters.
  • The loss of a few districts could give the House of Representatives to the Democrats and disrupt his presidency.
  • Unfulfilled promises, such as ending military interventions, have damaged Trump's credibility.
  • Democrats face their own challenges, with divisions between the moderate and radical wings of the party.
  • The fall in Trump's popularity does not necessarily mean adherence to the democratic project.

Conclusion: The midterm elections will not only determine control of Congress, but also the strength of the coalition that brought Trump to power and the democrats' ability to turn rejection of the president into a majority of their own.
