One hundred days before the US midterm elections, President Donald TrumpRepublicans are looking down at an election that marks the loss of the House of Representatives and an uphill battle to take back the Senate.
Trump won’t be on the ballot on Nov. 3, but the stakes for his presidency could be higher.
A Democratic Congress could give the party control of powerful committees and subpoena powers, potentially subjecting the Trump administration to two years of investigations and potentially a third impeachment push.
Republicans enter the final race with a historic majority of congressional seats, the president’s approval ratings are weak and voters are increasingly unhappy with the cost of living and the escalating war between him and Iran.
The US Elections Office’s website predicts that the Democratic Party has a 59 percent chance of winning the House, predicting a 224-211 majority.
The president’s party tends to lose ground in midterm elections, and only a few seats need to change hands.
