Considering that the majority of people vote based on their wallets, yeah. Especially since he campaigned against Harris and won mainly by saying the economy/taxes/grocery prices would be better with him as President.
If people don't see signs of that being true, they're going to swing the opposite direction.
That's historically how midterms go, especially when the White House flips parties the previous election. The incoming President campaigns on all the great things he's going to do, people believe him, go "Yay!" and vote them in. Then all of those campaign promises get forgotten....by the President. Not by the people. So they get angry and vote for the other party during midterms.
And then you have the people who thought they didn't need to vote in the Presidential election because they were sure their guy/party would win. But he/they lost instead so they feel like they need to go and try to right some wrong.
Please note that I'm not making digs on President Trump over this. Just that it's what routinely happens during midterms. It's an obvious pattern that can be traced throughout our history.
And while I 100% believe voter fraud is real, I also realize that the majority of the country identifies as moderates/independents and are prone to blow whichever way the wind blows. And if the economy/inflation/grocery prices hasn't improved by midterms, a lot of those people are going to be voting against Republicans.
As to ending election fraud, I honestly don't see what can be done between now and midterms. It's only 9 months away. Too late for the individual states to change their voting laws (get rid of mail in votes/demand all paper voting/no machine counting/etc), too late for things like passing laws for voting ID, etc..
I'm not trying to doom. I'm pointing out facts. If anyone sees any realistic legal way for us to eliminate voter fraud between now and mid-terms, please let me know. The specific law. Not some vague idea of President Trump declaring the Insurrection Act and canceling elections. That's not something that can be done legally. Not that I'm aware of, anyway. But I always acknowledge the fact that I'm not an expert in Constitutional Law and that I could very well be missing something, so if someone could show me the exact laws that would allow us to either cancel the midterm elections or any laws that we could use to stop voter fraud between now and Novemeber, I would appreciate it very much.
Now, that's a thought. Enforcing the laws that are currently on the books. That's truly something that's realistically achievable. Now we need to put pressure on the powers that be to do that.
Trump should make sure grocery prices go down before midterms. That, plus the tax reduction, should make voters happy.
Of course, #1 is always to end election fraud.

Maybe we do have time to enforce the election laws states have already changed. That might be enough.
Thanks so much for your great reply.

Thank you for your great reply as well. 👍
