Trump’s Midterm Rigging Scheme Revealed Amidst Poll Declines
MS NOW’s Steve Benen presents evidence suggesting Donald Trump has politicized disaster aid distribution, noting a pattern of rejecting requests from non-swing states while approving aid for Democratic-run swing states where crucial elections are pending. Benen highlights Trump’s explicit linkage of aid packages to support for specific candidates, a move described as “breathtaking” in its audacity. This strategy emerges amidst New York Times polling indicating unexpectedly strong Democratic competitiveness in several key Senate races, particularly where Trump’s economic approval ratings are low. These developments, Benen argues, encapsulate the current political climate.
