With three weeks until the midterm elections, Republicans find themselves struggling, according to New Times reporting. Persistent economic pain, particularly inflation, combined with President Trump's low approval ratings, has put the G.O.P. on its heels heading into the final stretch. The report suggests cost-of-living frustrations and the president's unpopularity could threaten the party's prospects at the ballot box.
Why now: The midterm elections are three weeks away, making the Republicans' electoral vulnerability a pressing topic.
