Trump’s focus on deep red states reveals Republican fears over own base
Sky News AustraliaNews24 US analyst Michael Ware says US President Donald Trump isn’t trying to win over independents ahead of the midterms but instead is focusing on getting his own base to “show up” and vote. “He’s literally travelling around the country to his own base,” Mr Ware told News24. “They’re not trying to win votes; they’re trying to make sure that they hold on to the votes they already have. “So that tells you the strain that’s on the president in these midterms.”
