Last straight line in the United States. Americans are called to the polls on Tuesday during the “midterms”, these midterm elections, to renew all of the elected members of the House of Representatives and a third of the Senate. These elected officials will sit on Capitol Hill and form the Congress until 2024, the year of the next presidential elections. What can we expect if the Democrats lose a majority?
A feeling of deja vu: Joe Biden facing Donald Trump
The distance duel continues between the two presidential adversaries: Joe Biden who calls on Americans to defend democracy during a speech given to black students at a University of Maryland while Donald Trump dreams of a red wave, color of the Republicans and also gives an appointment next Tuesday for a big announcement.
If the Republicans win, it will be a drag on Joe Biden’s action. According to Kevin McCarthy, the current leader of the opposition, priority will be given to the fight against illegal immigration at the Mexican border. “The first thing you will see is legislation to control the border or get the country back on track. A program to move in a new direction, with a strong economy, a secure nation, a future based on freedom and an accountable government,” he said.
On the fight against inflation, the Republican Party has not given specific measures, except the reduction of federal spending. The maintenance of financial and military aid to Ukraine also arises. Kevin McCarthy says he supports kyiv but will not sign a blank check to Volodymyr Zelensky. Everything will also depend on the number of elected Trumpists, the most radical conservatives who will not hesitate to launch impeachment proceedings against Joe Biden. “We will never use impeachment for political purposes,” assured Kevin McCarthy, who has a very good chance of becoming the new boss of the House of Representatives.
