On October 26, local time, a poll conducted by the American morning consulting company and media company Politicians showed that two weeks before the midterm elections, the approval rating of US President Biden was 43%, and the unsupport rating was still as high as 55%.
In addition, only 30% of respondents believe that the United States is moving in the right direction, while 70% believe that the United States' development has deviated significantly from the track.
Before the midterm elections
Biden is making his final efforts
As Americans face the highest inflation in decades, on the 26th local time, the Biden administration announced new measures to crack down on the problem of random charging of banks and other companies.
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has issued new guidance that it would be illegal for a bank to charge an overdraft fee if a customer buys a product, the bank's website or ATM balance shows that there is enough money in their account. The agency also stipulates that when a check deposited by a customer is returned, the bank shall not charge a fee.
Biden spoke on White House and said: "The garbage fees charged by these companies cost hundreds of billions of dollars per year for Americans, putting pressure on family budgets and making it harder for people to pay bills, so my administration has taken action to eliminate these fees." In his speech at
, Biden also emphasized the new regulations implemented last month on airlines and travel websites, requiring advance disclosure of seat selection, checked baggage and other surcharges. Biden said his broader plan would address hidden hotel booking fees, termination fees set by cable and internet companies, and other "unexpected fees that were secretly charged."
The midterm election is approaching, and voters have listed the economy and inflation as their concerns. Biden is conducting a final lobbying for voters, focusing increasingly on his administration’s efforts to reduce gasoline prices and health care costs.
Biden said in a statement: "I know these years have been difficult, but since day one, my administration has been focusing on reducing the burden faced by working-class families and giving them some breathing space."
In a statement, the White House said that canceling these two bank fees would save consumers more than $1 billion a year. The White House said the administration has been pushing banks to reduce overdrafts and other underfunded expenses, and is expected to drop 20% this year from 2019.
The Democratic Party’s election is not good
Bloomberg once again donated large amounts
According to the Capitol Hill newspaper on the 26th, billionaire and former New York Mayor Bloomberg invested $10 million in a Democratic Super Political Action Committee supported by Pelosi . "Thank you very much for Bloomberg's support to us as we work to maintain the House Majority Party."
She added: "The election involves so many stakes, including democracy itself. Bloomberg's support can ensure we continue to fight the extreme Republicans, who are spreading lies and misinformation about Democratic candidates and Biden."
Bloomberg ran for president in 2020 as a Democrat. He has provided more than $70 million in funding to Democratic candidates and the Democratic caucus during this election cycle. In addition, Bloomberg has invested a lot of money in gubernatorial elections across the United States.
As of September 30, the House Majority Political Action Committee has received more than $134 million in funding. But by comparison, a super PAC that is aligned with House Minority Leader McCarthy received more than $220 million in donations over the same time period.
Currently, both parties hope to win control of the House of Representatives over the next two years. Republicans have more hope for gaining control of the House than Democrats, according to FiveThirtyEight.
More and more Republicans believe that
Trump will not become a party nominee
According to the Capitol Hill newspaper on the 26th, more and more Republicans are warning that former President Trump should not run for election again in 2024, otherwise he will fail, indicating that differences within the Republican Party on this issue are likely to appear in full swing after the midterm elections.
Former House Speaker Paul Ryan, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush and former Vice President Pence have all said recently that they would rather see others become Republican nominees in the next presidential election.
Pence was once a loyal aide to Trump, but parted ways with Trump in the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack. Last week, he was asked at Georgetown University whether he would vote for Trump if he ran in 2024.
Pence smiled and said, "Well, there may be others I like more." Pence has frequently visited Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina recently, and it is widely believed that this is laying the foundation for his 2024 campaign.
Ryan had many public quarrels with Trump and retired from the House of Representatives in 2019. Earlier this month, Ryan said Republicans could lose their White House throne if Trump runs in two years. "I think Trump's unselectivity by then will be obvious. We all know he will lose."
However, Trump is still very popular within the Republican Party, attracting a large number of supporters to the campaign in recent weeks. Trump has not said whether he plans to run again in 2024, although he often suggests that a decision has been made and often jokes in his speech that he may have to run "again again".
