Until the last moment, before Tuesday’s midterms, Donald Trump had cast doubt on a possible candidacy announced on Monday evening. But he assured not wanting to steal the show from the candidates he dubbed. Faced with a tide of red caps, the 76-year-old ex-president painted an extremely bleak picture of America under Joe Biden on Monday evening. A country where soaring prices “strangles households”where the “violent crime is out of control” and where the extreme left “indoctrinate our children”.
The Americans are called upon during this election to renew the entire House of Representatives and a third of the Senate. A whole series of local elected positions, which decide their state’s policies on abortion or environmental regulation, in particular, are also at stake.
The campaign for this multitude of ballots gathered under the name of midterms will have until the last few hours taken on the appearance of a second round of the 2020 match. Donald Trump’s meeting was in fact directly competing with that of Joe Biden, organized a few minutes earlier at a historically black university in Maryland, on the outskirts of Washington, during which the president urged Americans to “stand up for democracy”.
