Trump faces Democratic probes and GOP succession race after midterms

Tuesday's midterm elections will determine the final two years of Donald Trump's presidency, with a Democratic victory likely triggering investigations into his administration and business dealings, and potentially another impeachment. A Republican loss would also shift political focus toward the 2028 race to succeed him. Trump has framed the elections as a personal referendum, urging voters to "pretend I'm on the ballot," a gamble to boost turnout among his supporters. Democrats see this as an advantage, using his prominence to highlight economic concerns, while a GOP win would strengthen his grip on the party. If Democrats take the House, they plan to target administration policies, immigration enforcement, and Trump family business ties, with potential probes into officials like Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Trump has pledged to use his veto power and reprise tactics like slow-walking congressional requests, while his campaign strategy included rallies and unconventional promises.
