In the United States, the midterm elections are risky for Joe Biden. Will he retain the majority in Congress? Donald Trump no longer hides his ambition to regain the White House.
With great reinforcements of clips and special effects, ultra-Republicans do not hesitate to attack their Democratic adversaries, for example by comparing them to wild boars to be slaughtered. There are also messages of misogyny or anti-immigration discourse. This new Trump generation appears as soon as it can with its mentor during campaign meetings. In Ohio, in the heart of the American Midwest, JD Vance connects the meetings in small rooms. He took up the same slogan as Trump, “America first”, but also the same mistrust and the same obsession. He applies the same recipes as the former president to seduce his audience in a state that was a former industrial basin.
The approach works. Republican supporters approve of this line, close to that of their former president. “He has integrity, he has a real presence. I trust him”, says a woman. Donald Trump’s style seduces. In Arizona, Kari Lake, former TV presenter and candidate for the post of governor, does not hesitate to directly attack the government and the media. Like her mentor, she hints that she will not accept the election results.
