Trump travels across the USA ahead of the midterm elections
Published
President Donald Trump is travelling across the USA to win back voters' support. The midterm elections are next week, and the outcome could have major significance for political power in Washington.
The midterm elections are held in the middle of a presidential term. Voters elect members of the House of Representatives and part of the Senate. When a president is unpopular, his party often does worse in this election. That is why it is important for Trump to meet voters in person and persuade them before election day.
A former Republican politician has described the situation as Trump fighting to survive politically. Commentators believe the result could affect how much power Trump has over the next two years, particularly when it comes to bills and budgets.
For Norway, developments in the USA are relevant, because American politics affects trade, security and cooperation within NATO. That is why many in Norway are following the outcome of the midterm elections closely. The election will be decided next week.
