US President Donald Trump faces a critical juncture to maintain the Republican Party's narrow majority in the upcoming November midterm elections. The significant drop in inflation in June and the ceasefire reached with Iran had created positive headlines in favor of the presidency. However, the author warns that the reignition of the Iran war and increasing US military casualties could overshadow these economic successes.
In terms of election strategy, the state of the economy continues to be decisive. The author emphasizes that the public's economic perception will become nearly permanent by Labor Day in October and that it will be very difficult to change it by election day. It is noted that socialist victories in the Democratic primaries have provided the Republicans with a surprising advantage in public opinion polls.
Despite this, factors such as the fatigue from the ongoing war with Iran and the depletion of military ammunition stocks are causing deep concerns among voters. It is assessed that the president has a very narrow window of time left to revitalize the economy throughout the summer season and to alleviate the fear of a new prolonged war.
