‘Sense of Nervousness’: Can Dems Turn Trump’s Unpopularity Into Midterm Success?
Strategists talk to Rolling Stone about the party's golden opportunity, and what worries them the most down the stretch
The US midterm elections are just around the corner, and Democrats are sensing an opportunity to capitalize on President Trump's unpopularity. With Trump's approval ratings consistently hovering around 40%, strategists believe that the party can turn this sentiment into success on the ground. However, as the election season heats up, there's a growing sense of nervousness within the party.
The Democratic Party's chances of success hinge on their ability to mobilize voters, particularly in key battleground states. Strategists are worried about voter turnout, and the party's efforts to galvanize support among key demographics, such as young people and minorities. If Democrats can effectively tap into the discontent with Trump's presidency, they may be able to flip several House and Senate seats, potentially even gaining control of Congress.
As the midterms approach, all eyes will be on the key battleground states, such as Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Florida. The party's messaging and get-out-the-vote efforts will be crucial in determining the outcome. To watch next: will Democrats be able to sustain their momentum and translate it into actual votes, or will Trump's base rally around him, defying expectations? The outcome will have significant implications for the 2020 presidential election and the balance of power in Washington.
