With two years of his presidency remaining, Donald Trump,
who has dominated American politics over the past decade and transformed it in
remarkable ways, is facing potentially pivotal elections.
Voters overwhelmingly say they are most concerned about the
cost of living. Food and fuel prices have soared in part due to the president’s
aggressive tariffs and unpopular war with Iran, so it will be top of mind as
many head to the polls.
Trump, who has faced record low approval ratings in recent
months, has been campaigning hard, headlining dozens of rallies across the
country.
But high prices are a concern for voters on all sides – which
helps explain why he has been campaigning in previously safe Republican
territory, appearing in Iowa and Kansas during a final weekend blitz.
His party has also poured hundreds of millions of dollars of
campaign advertising into these traditionally safe contests, such as the Senate
race in Kansas.
