Trump backs midterm Republican push despite 33% approval rating
Trump's approval rating is 33 per cent, his lowest of his second term.
Trump dominated the Republican midterm convention in Dallas this week. 16 of 17 large photos on display showed him.
Trump's approval rating nationally is 33 per cent, the lowest of his second term. Republicans bet that his base popularity still matters more than his low overall approval.
The Republican strategy targets voters who only show up for Trump's name but skip other elections. In Illinois, Trump won 700,000 more votes than the Republican governor candidate in 2022.
This shows his power to flip states. The stakes are high.
If Republicans lose Congress, Trump will likely face impeachment.
