POTUS attempt to interfere in the midterms is generating alarm. An expert on US elections says the administration’s mounting setbacks tell a different story..
“This is all a lot of noise, and it’s failing,” David Becker, a former Justice Department attorney who leads the Center for Election Innovation and Research, told Mother Jones.
Trump’s Attempts to Interfere in the Midterms Have Been “Complete Failures” His legal ploys have hit a wall, and this elections expert thinks the center will hold.
He also claims his first term featured “the greatest economy in the history of our country” and “we’re blowing it away now.” But neither of Trump’s terms were the “greatest” in terms of growth of real (inflation-adjusted) gross domestic product, the measure favored by economists.
Trump says, “We have more factories being built right now than at any time in the history of our country,” but U.S. Census Bureau data on manufacturing construction spending contradict that, showing a decline since late 2024.
