Why voter frustration could spell trouble for Trump | DW News

Donald Trump is not on the ballot papers in this election, but the midterms are one of the most important tests yet of his presidency. Unaffordable living costs are top of voters’ minds as they head to the ballot boxes today, and this is expected to translate into a defeat for Trump and the Republicans. If this happens, can Trump continue to govern as he has thus far? We ask Mona Charen, a syndicated columnist and policy editor at the independent media company “The Bulwark,” and Sudha David-Wilp, a senior fellow and vice president of external relations at the German Marshall Fund of the United States, for their assessment.
