How 'midterms' threaten not only Trump's majority in Washington but also his grip on Republicans

The U.S. Justice Department has intervened in Alaska's elections, intimidating officials in California and Washington while investigating prominent Democrats. This legal offensive is seen as a response to Donald Trump's fears about losing control over the Republican Party and Congress during the midterms. Recent actions include lawsuits to block election results and demands to segregate ballots, raising concerns about voter suppression. Republican candidates are distancing themselves from Trump, reflecting dissatisfaction among voters and a shift towards bipartisan cooperation. The midterms could lead to significant changes in Congress, potentially increasing Democratic power and initiating investigations into Trump's administration.
