The cost of living has become the central issue in the campaign for the US midterm elections scheduled for November 3, according to RFI.
Donald Trump, a key figure of the Republican Party, is facing increasing criticism for not fulfilling his promise to lower prices, a situation that weighs on his image among voters, including within his own camp.
This dissatisfaction could have significant electoral consequences, particularly in North Carolina. This traditionally conservative state could see a Democratic candidate win a Senate seat, which would be a first in twenty years, RFI notes.
The issue of inflation, by directly affecting Americans’ purchasing power, thus stands as a major challenge of the midterms, potentially altering the political balance in the Senate.
