CHAOS: RECORD-HIGH gas prices as Trump’s trade war sends GOP midterm fears soaring

President Trump is making the midterms about himself, despite his declining approval ratings and increasing Democratic advantage. His campaign events are struggling to attract attendees, and many GOP lawmakers are distancing themselves from him.
The confluence of high gas prices and trade disputes could significantly impact voter sentiment and the outcomes of the upcoming midterm elections, potentially threatening Republican control of Congress.
