Wenige Wochen vor den US-Kongresswahlen sehen Prognosen die Republikaner von US-Präsident Donald Trump im Rückstand. Statt sich zurückzuhalten, löst Trump ein Versprechen ein und kehrt selbst als Wahlkämpfer auf die politische Bühne zurück. Damit stellt sich eine spannende Frage: Ist der Präsident bei dieser Wahl ein Glücksbringer für seine Partei – oder wird er zum Ballast?
Bei den alle zwei Jahre stattfindenden Midtermwahlen in der Mitte einer Präsidentenamtszeit werden das gesamte Repräsentantenhaus und ein Drittel des Senats neu gewählt. Die Abstimmung gilt als Stimmungsbarometer für die Partei des Amtsinhabers – und in vielen Fällen als schwieriges Pflaster.
What the forecasts show
According to Spiegel, Republicans trail Democrats just weeks before the midterms. For Trump and his party, that means: the starting position is uncomfortable, and every campaign appearance by the president can reshuffle the deck – or further rattle the party's own base.
Trump's return as a campaigner
Spiegel highlights that Trump is fulfilling a promise and taking the stage as a campaigner again. That's unusual: presidents often deliberately stay out of the campaign to shield local candidates from their own risks. Trump is taking the opposite path – risking both a motivational boost at the base and image damage with the political middle.
What's at stake for the Republicans
These midterms are about control of Congress. If Republicans lose one or both chambers, it has direct consequences for the rest of Trump's term: legislation, appointments, and the president's political agenda would all become significantly harder to push through. Trump's involvement is therefore not merely symbolic – it has tangible consequences.
The central question remains: Can Trump still close the projected gap in the remaining weeks? What is clear: he has decided to fight. Whether that ultimately helps or hurts the Republicans will be decided by voters at the ballot box.
