United States: How the Trump camp is exploiting the riots in France to re-energize the MAGA base ahead of the midterms

The imagery of violence in cities like Paris and Marseille has been widely shared on social media and covered by news outlets. Trump's repeated references to these events aim to energize a specific segment of the populist right electorate, which is crucial for mobilizing support amid low enthusiasm for the election. With Trump not on the ballot, motivating voters remains a significant challenge for Republicans.
