There are less than half a month left before the US midterm elections, but the Democratic campaign situation is not optimistic. According to data released by major polling agencies in the United States, the support rate of Biden is less than 50%. More than half of the respondents believe that Biden's work performance after being elected as president is difficult to satisfy. Polling agencies analyzed that failure to effectively curb the severe inflation problem is the main reason for the continued sluggish support rate of Biden.
Due to high inflation, the cost of living for most Americans continues to soar. According to US media reports, in order to deal with inflation, some Americans can only choose to cut spending and extend their working hours. It is generally believed that if this sluggish election situation continues, the Democratic Party led by Biden is very likely to lose this year's midterm election, and the consequence is that the Democratic Party loses control over the two houses of the US Congress. Analysts said that as long as Republican can take control of either one or one house of Congress, the Senate and the House of Representatives, Biden's path to govern in the next two years will become extremely difficult.
According to relevant provisions of the US Constitution, the ruling bill formulated by the US President must be approved by the Congress before it can be implemented. Since Biden took office as US president, the Democrats have controlled Congress, so the bill he has implemented has not encountered much resistance. And once the Democrats lose control of Congress, Biden's good days will come to an end. It is worth noting that in addition to Biden's fear of losing this midterm election, Ukrainian President Zelensky is also worried that the Democratic Party will lose its power.
Since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian military conflict, the United States has provided Ukraine with a large amount of military aid, most of which are dominated by the Democratic Party. Once the Republican Party controls the U.S. Congress, Biden's aid bill for Ukraine may be overturned by Congress. Recently, the U.S. House Republican leader McCarthy said in an interview with US media that if the Republicans win the midterm election, it will reduce the scale of military aid to Ukraine.
McCarthy said that the US economy is facing a recession crisis, and under this background, the US will not easily make a commitment to Ukraine for assistance. Another Republican lawmaker, Armstrong, pointed out that the current priority of the US government is to solve the inflation problem and restore the prices of food, energy and other commodities to a normal and reasonable price range in the shortest time. Aiding Ukraine is something that the US government can only consider after the above work is completed.
Analysts said that the current military conflict between Russia and Ukraine is in a stalemate stage, and all actions of the Ukrainian army are inseparable from the aid of the Western countries led by the United States. Once the United States reduces its aid to Ukraine, the Ukrainian army's situation will take a sharp turn for the worse. However, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kureba firmly believes that no matter the result of this midterm election, the United States' support for Ukraine will not change.
