Trump's cure for Republicans' midterm woes is more Trump. Will it work?
Trump’s allied groups have spent at least $277 million since Sept. 1 as polls show weak approval and voter resistance to his agenda.
- President Donald Trump held a campaign rally at the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center in Lubbock, Texas, on Tuesday, continuing his midterm tour centered on personal grievances rather than broader policy.
- Political groups associated with the president have spent around $277 million since Sept. 1 to bolster Republicans, though the Trump-centric approach backfired in 2018 when Democrats retook House control.

- With the Iran war and high energy prices driving the election cycle, Trump's personal approach represents a significant gamble, as issues that helped him win reelection in 2024 may now prove liabilities for Republicans.
